Doing up an HOn30 train for Mark. His theme is based on a prototype that services a brick making factory. Here's the basic cars and engine at the start.
The engine got totally detailed out. It's in the paint shop now.
The cars were completely weathered, loaded up and almost done. Still have to load the clay in the 14 hoppers.
Your critter is beautiful... and your work is as neat as a pin!
Do you know of any company who manufactures those really cool little ore cars in regular 1/87 HO scale. It would be neat to have some to go with my ingot buggies...
id a search of "mine cars" on ebay. Came back with a bunch of small ones like these. Not sure you can get a 1/87 mine car that isn't 18" gauge or HOn30.

I want a HOn30 locomotive to use as a load for a standard gauge flat car.
Tooter, theres one mine car for $13, a bunch for $24, and a loco + 10 car set for $100 on ebay. The cars are made by Roco and have pizza cutter flanges.
Well ALL the ROCO Narrow Gauge trains will run on Code 80 track as that is what ROCO, Peco, and Tillig sell. on top of that you can always use Atlas N scale Code 80 track and bury the ties in the weeds.

Well you can always use the On30 cars from Bachmann. I know they are not 1/87 scale but for a mine train I dont think it will matter. I am sure if you dig around you will find something for HO track but it will most likly be a kit and cost more then you want to spend.
