I am looking for something that is close to the smooth side observation like the “pointed end type” of the “capital limited” in ho scale to go along with my rivarossi set - Have a hook on an IHC “penny” one and could repaint? - Any painters in the CT. area? I have in stock the full spectrum heavy set and a rivarossi heavy set, and a smoothside passenger set from rivarossi (happy with what they offer as their observation) - looking for the pointed end observation…nonbrass…Have a American Beauty on the way - What other manufacturers made such? IHC,Con-Cor,Kato,
Scout,
I think what you’re looking for is an 85ft. “Boat Tail” style observation car, if I’m not mistaken. Take a look at these:
All the IHC streamlined “Boat Tails” I’ve seen have corrugated sides. AHM’s smooth sided observation cars from the 1979s-80s were “Blunt-ended” so they wouldn’t be close to a boat tail style.
Here’s a Walthers GN smooth sided Boat Tail obs. car. But with the window arrangements and other body details, it might not be close enough for what you’re looking for:
