Up today are several interesting models built by David Sacks for his American OO scale Greenbrook layout, recently restored by Jack Bartman.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He found the colors easy to match as Sacks had used standard Testors paints. The most interesting models probably are this engine and caboose. Of the engines I received from the residual of his layout this one was the only one that ran (sort of), and it may be seen \u201cbefore\u201d in this article<\/a>. It still does not run great \u2013 Sacks ran it really hard and it could use a new motor \u2013 but it still runs and is now a fairly sharp model. It is an example of the \u201clarge HO Diesel passing as smaller OO diesel\u201d (it is Athearn) and is a bit underscale. But he must have had fun working over the lettering and running it. With it is a standard S-C caboose, also with freshened up paint and decals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next up are these two S-C passenger cars, a baggage and a coach. The coach he modified with wide windows which is a nice look. Besides freshening up the paint (especially the roofs) and decals, Bartman added seats and passengers which are a nice addition. Both of these cars \u201cbefore\u201d may be seen in this article. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, we have the rest of the head end cars of a heavyweight passenger train. The RPO is a somewhat rare Nason model, the baggage car on the left is J-C models and the one on the right is of unknown manufacture (probably kitbashed). Note the lettering variations: Greenbrook, Green Brook, and Green Brook Lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In total these cars make me want to restore a couple more similar cars a bit more fully. They make for quick and satisfying projects as you can save a bit of OO history in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
