Model Railroading > Walthers Oscar and PikerDate: 11/22/17 09:39 Walthers Oscar and Piker Author: BNModeler I know one is an Observation car is the other a Diner?
Date: 11/22/17 10:53 Re: Walthers Oscar and Piker Author: wpdude WOW that's a stroll down memory lane. I had both cars as a teen. The Oscar was the observation car, The Piker may have been a combo "sleeper/diner" ? Not quite sure what became of them but they were a fun gag. Any body still got one?

I wonder how many baggage cars one would need if one modeled the Chicago Milwaukee Saint Paul & Pacific? ʎɹɹɐl Date: 11/24/17 11:25 Re: Walthers Oscar and Piker Author: grahamline That would be an articulated baggage car.
