Texas State Railroad Coaches #42 and #44

These are my MOCs of the Texas State Railroad air conditioned coaches #42 and #44. The design has changed quite a bit since I first started - I’ve shortened it 6 studs, raised it a plate, and completely redesigned the bogies several times.

The two coaches are nearly identical, the only real difference is #42 has a few more details on its’ undercarriage.

These now, while still heavy, perform much better than they did at RAILFEST 2010, where I had hoped to have them make their debut. However, the design flaws proved too much and I was forced to put one away and put one out on display.

(...) Ohhh, nice orange cars, Tony! <g,d,r> All seriousness aside, really nice job, Tony. I love your design for the trucks, and I love how the cars sit highly on them-- very prototypical:-) I think it's really cool that you are building cars (...)
