Extra Combine's

What do you do with extra combine’s??? I read an artical a long long time ago about bashing a Two Door Baggage Car, Since I had 3 combine’s and plenty of time. I took the red ATSF and the Yellow UP ( all reddy painted green ) one’s and made a new 2 door baggage car and a soon to be dinning car out them. BOTH now in the paint shop. I also found some old RGS decals that will be cut up to use for DELTA NORTHERN lettering . Yes I will post some completed photo’s. BTW I found a prototype for the baggage car it’s the Westconson (sp) Central #305. I did not shorten the roof or remove the end platforms like the prototype.

Tom. The top two are, but repainted, got them in 1990 have had them stored since. The bridge will be a post of it’s own when i get the rest of it.

Here is a simple adaptation. A Bachmann Combine with a cupola from and old Bachmann Bobber Caboose added along with working marker lights and a reverse headlamp on the roof. I haven’t added any lettering yet.
