Mike McKenzie and I have jointly sponsored Bill Meredith's Co-Op program to produce kits for the C&S baggage cars numbers 1 and 2 in Sn3. Leadville Designs has just announced that the project is a go!!

Bill has decided to produce the kits in HO and O scales as well:




Bill's plan is to produce a single kit to build either C&S Baggage 1 or C&S baggage 2. He hopes to have the kits complete and ready for sale for the NNG convention this Fall.

C&S baggage cars number 1 and 2 were nearly identical, varying in length by 1". The main difference was the number of clerestory side windows. Number 1 had 13, number 2 had 9:





Bill's kit will contain redundant clerestory sides and window overlays, to allow one to build either number 1 or number 2 (or buy two kits and build one of each!).

Bill is developing the correct C&S 5'-6" passenger trucks in brass, much like the 6'-0" Pullman trucks for his recent Pullman / Coach production.
