I'm always on the look out for anything era-appropriate (at a reasonable price). Modeling 1900 in HO and HOn3 means it's not easy to find suitable locomotives - desired would be models of prototypes made in the 1880s. But models from the late 1890s are much more available. Car kits are pretty easy to find now. I finally started a hobby savings account where I dump what I don't spend of my monthly hobby budget. This way I have $$ available when I do stumble across the gem I want, or to pay for a big ticket item.

Not exactly what I was looking for.
Try Atlas Southern Precision Designed 50 footers.
Of course that means very little now since I'm building Slate Creek in HO.
I already have 4 ExactRail 50' Southern waffle side Boxcars.

Rivorossi C&O 4-6-4 streamline. I know they made it years ago I have seen it. I know where one is but owner won't part with it. It must be affordable, my wife has been warned.

I was just on E-Bay. One is NYC, one is C&O but not streamline.
