As mentioned in the earlier comments I made this from 2 x 50' boxcars by cutting them in the right place to make a 60' car with double doors. Then painted and lettered to match # 24364. Came out pretty well I think.
They're sweet. I love when people get their stuff weathered. Check out my stuff at "model trains big boy 4015 & challengers" and tell me what you think.
Well spotted! Walthers mainly with 1 Bachmann on the end and 1 Kato in the middle. They are as close as I can find to what you are looking for. I have a Challenger and 4-8-4 as well so I must post a video of them. Cheers
Sorry, got it wrong, Bachmann on head end, heavyweight observation on the tail is Walthers. Custom built the material handling car #24364 from 2x 50' boxcars.

Not sure; it might be a Walthers Pullman-Standard 48-Seat Streamlined Diner . Most of the cars are by Walthers with 1 Spectrum and 1 Kato car.

Great set up! Is that another weathered big boy I see in the background?

It's a Challenger. Both models here are by Rivarossi although I've repowered them with Sagami motors.

Is that consist a mix of walthers and bachmann?
I can't find a good quality set of UP streamlined passenger cars anywhere, or at least ones that resemble what the 3985 Challenger hauls today.
