Most likely because very shortly after he made that post the railsimamerica site was shut down and railworksamerica has only been going now for about 3 days.

Indeed they are.

They are nice and I will most likely buy them but I have a dumb question. What periods would this cover? I like the 1900 thru say about 1960.

Hi,

I think 1900 might a bit early, at least for cars of this construction being widely used. I'd say late 1910s, on through the 20s might be when most railroads modernized their fleets of ageing coaches which often still had wooden bodies back then, introduced new name trains, and so forth. I only know this for sure for a few railroads though, but my guess is that with WW1 just being over, traffic and economy increasing rapidly, this might have been pretty common for other roads, too.

Cheers!
Michael

Thanks Michael for the info, I will buy these and use them with the new steam engines that are starting to appear.
