I have been trying to find some information/photo's of Train Funneral cars.
Background on subject;
Last year I purchased a 2-8-8-2 Mallet which was on sale and at the time I didn't have any plans for it on my future rail road. Then the thought ocurred to me that it would make a great Loco for a Presidential/Military Funneral Train. I have never come acorss any pictures of one on any of the layouts that I have seen.
I am looking for the propper cars to use/redecorate, one each for tha Air Force, Army, Navy Marine Corps, Coast Guard and the President. I found emblems for the different Services at Hobby Lobby. I just need to get an idea as to which cars would be propper for this idea.
I am thinking either Baggage Cars or RPO's, or Combines. The cars definately need at least one side door to get the coffins in/out of.
If anyone could point me in the right direction ait will be greatly appreciated. I have searched google and come up with Lincolns train and others, but there seem to be no pictures of any other Funneral train or cars.
Please help,
Cliff
