Picked up some what I thought were Bachmann cars, but they were marked Kato on the bottom. Some research tells me they were probably sold by Con-Cor, called Shortie cars, as they're about 60' long. The prototype is apparently Japanese, but nobody seems to know just what class or which lines they ran on. Web research so far coming up empty. it's a long shot, but anyone here have an idea what they could be? Attachments:

I also need to ID this guy, but this time I don't even know who made it. Is it a Kato piece painted by Con-Cor, or an older Trix or Rapido getting some more mileage out of a Euro prototype? That it uses a screw to hold the shell on makes me think one of the latter two, or some other Euro brand. Found an ID on this guy. Con-Cor sold it, Lima made it, very cheap drive to it. Some kind of Italian prototype. Attachments:

Coaches are Japanese, as mentioned,but I think from memory they may have even been shortened from the intended Japanese prototype. Sorry can't recall any more about them, excepting that Victorian (Australian) modellers sometimes used them as stand-ins for Victorian Railways coaches. |
