These pics are great. I'm modeling a small rail show circa 1900, beat up, but successful enough to move a step beyond a gilly show. Is there any information or pics showing either Janesville or Delavan passenger coaches used at that time? I'm not having much luck searching for these. Michael
I don't have any but maybe some of the contributing Bloggers might. Most shows making the move to rails acquired hand me down equipment from established railroad shows.
Both Janesville and Delavan were manufacturers. There is a Janesville, WI, but not much info on a railcar company before the turn of the century. I would imagine those early shows did buy used day coaches to convert.But, I can't find any pics of those cars.

What is meant by Janesville or Delavan passenger coaches? Do you mean cars that were used in local day coach service?
