I used to run a large gauge O english railroad in my Massachusetts basement,
and I had quite a few Lima O-scale coaches. They are plastic and quite
attractive - but have been out of production for many years. I sold mine to
a canadian gentleman on the west coast. Look for the LMS Maroon or "blood
and custard" (red and cream) livery. There should be some available
secondhand.
Sources: GOG is a very active organisation (Gauge O Guild) and they probably
know some sources. I think they are on the web ? Garden Rail magazine has
adverts - I subscribe. There are also several manufacturers of scale coaches
that match the loco.
The least expensive way of ordering (in my experience, which is a little out
of date) is to phone a UK store directly and order on a credit card. They
will deduct VAT, and that will cover the shipping! Kittle Hobby in Swansea
used to be very reliable.
Shall I go and search my archives for more sources?
Pete
