I'm picking those Nits with you brother.The various manufactures took various off the shelf passenger cars and did some cosmetic work and called them interurbans, commuters and whatever else would sell. I think the one exception were the Lionel MP54's with Pennsylvania Road names. They came from MTH's connection to its South Korean source. The Lackawanna types were close , but the full size trailers were a longer passenger car. Lionel's first Long Island attempt had pantographs. The first K-line Interurbans were 72Ft. heavyweights with power and modified ends. The Lionel "Illinois Central", The K-line Pacific Electric, SOUTH SHORE SOUTH BEND, were all non-conforming car types. BUT THESE ARE WHAT HAS BECOME AVAILIBLE It's cost effective for them. I'll say this, the K-line types and the Lionel re-brand line is the easiest to kit-bash into cars not made by the major brands. |
