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. |

P54 coaches and combines got to the midwest, but an MP54 never got to the CSS&SB.Arch roof P54's on the Knox & Kane got a CSS&SB paint scheme. Scroll down http://www.obrm.org/equipment_roster.htm for a photo of 7433 in Oyster Bay. Besides Pennsy Valpo locals, some were sold to the C&WI and the Santa Fe (believe it or not). |

These are more offerings from the past by Lionel and K-Line. Reading Blues were made by both Lionel and K-line and MTH   This is a New Haven by Lionel, It did not have a combine, the set by MTH had an older paint scheme and had a combine  The LIRR with pants, in Pennsylvania Red, a collector item, but no combine.  Illinois Central by Lionel, no combine.  Pacific Electric by K-line.  A fairly recent offering by Lionel, but of the K-line type. K-line never offered any combines.  K-line 60Ft. offering.  K-Line 72 Ft. type from the '90's.

K-Line Chicago North Shore Milwaukee, one of the few 0 gauge that had Trolley Poles. Pacific Electric was another, as was Pennsylvania Reading Shore Line. |

I'm glad to provide you and others, foam inducing photos.To be clear, these are not my creations. I only pass on what is available on the subject being discussed. Chances are, there are better examples out there that could be used. I try to provide photos of prototypical examples and their scale match-ups. For that I'll need a little research time. |

Southern Pacific combine and coaches.  Sothern Pacific Motor Freight not currently available in "O" scale.  Southern Pacific street running.  Southern Pacific Railway Express, same car in photo #2 |

Pacific Electric was a sizable player.  ON private-right-of-way and on street running.  I've always wondered if there were any street switches the Pacific Electrics negotiated. |

The PRSL, like the Pacific Electric's used trolley poles.  The PRSL had combines, coaches, and motor freights.  Its glory days were serving Atlantic City and its visitors.  The motor freights were a big part of the supply line. |

Chicago North Shore and Milwaukee was the final commuter to be featured here, although I'm sure there were many others. At one of the shops.  A string of Silver Liners street running.  At the bumper Block.  In Chicago, on the Loop.  On the Loop, judging by the full trains, must be a peak hour.  Under the fly over leads to the shops, at an at grade merge.  How about this under your Christmas Tree?  Leaving the Milwaukee Terminal. |

The Reading served Eastern Pennsylvania and had a big Terminal in Philly. Leaving Philly.  In the suburbs.  They had combines too!  They went from Green to the Blue and White. The astute student will note the change in the head lamps from a single to a dual lens.  Another Blue and White at the Reading terminal in Philly. |

The New York New Haven and Hartford had different paint schemes.  You have to love these windows on the New York Central.  These go back a way.  In the yard, Motor freights and coaches.  And the occasional combine.  Worthy of shedding a tear.  I remember seeing this type while riding on the Maj. Deegan Expressway as they passed over head. |

Those NYC cars, especially the 1906 built cars had very long lives. I think the 1906s were retired in 1963 (57 years of service at that point). The New Haven also had open platform EMUs dating from 1909 that lasted until 1954-1956. Those EMUs ran with the closed platform EMUs like the one you posted. |

About now, as long as we are in the neighborhood, Longuyland Rail Road. They were waiting in the Coney Island Yard for the scrapers toarch. Combine and coaches.  I should have warned you they were graphic!  What they looked like before the grey paint.  Old paint and old Lettering.  The combines were often found to be delivering newspapers to the suburbs.  Towards the end of there life, they were used in passenger service to complete trains. |

The Illinois Central also used the Terminal that CSS&SB used.  Many Roads used that Pullman Green paint scheme.  It appears the setup was a Power car with two Pantographs, and a trailer.  This is a photo from a fan trip of IC cars on the Chicago South Shore and South Bend. |

I think I neglected to include this Motor Freight with the Pacific Electric group. This one is for mail and express.  This appears to be for freight.  What would you give to travel back in time to Railfan on this consist?  While no longer economical in the prototypical world I'd love it in the "O" gauge world. |

I guess there came a time when craftsmanship and decor was eclipsed by utilitarian and safety needs.The parlor cars that had an ambiance of style and luxury were also to succumb to the bottom line.  What would segments of our population do to have this on the "E" train in mid-winter? |

Do I hear "ten Wheeler" trucks on main street.  I guess there were switches in the pavement. Note the switch in the bottom of the photo.  Some branches of Pacific Electric were Non-passenger, freight only. Others served both passenger and freight. |

I guess one would have to wear a suit and tie to board this combine. This car was for the Oregon Electric Railway. It seems to have all of the bells and whistles.  I wonder what the fare was? |

The Cleveland and Southwestern also used the trolley pole.Here is a brief portfolio for your hungry eyes.   Surfing in Ohio. Tots and Traction.  This must have been a big day for this photo shoot.  Some of the upper management in the luxury parlor Car.  The Town Square at East Bucyrus Ohio before beautification.  Same location , but now look at it. The first photo was taken from the domed steeple in the back round of the lower photo.  Car 500, a parlor car, used by "The Management", there was another , 501.  You just knew some big was in that car during horse and carriage days.  The back end, it only went one way, so there must have been loops at each end of the line.  The business end, Head light, Bell and what a view.  Full width cab.  501, the Sister to 500, but judging by the trolley pole, maybe capable of changing direction without a loop. It is next to a revenue passenger car.  These cars eventually became part of the Southwestern Delaware and Columbus.  501 has strived to this day, and has been preserved.  Car 302, a Columbus Delaware and Marion motor freight with a box car in tow.  Car 41, a parlor car with an open air observation platform. |
