My brother and son live in the Big Easy. I have been there many times and find the streetcars a delight. (I have also done the Philly, NYC, Washington, Chicago, Oslo transit and Minneapolis subways)

Do you know where i can find a 3 rail New Orleans streetcar for my layout?

Much thanks!

Brass O-scale New Orleans streetcars are available from MTS Imports, but they're expensive. Unpowered, unpainted is $595; unpowered, custom painted is $850. Add power, add cost. And I believe the power trucks are for two-rail operation.

Western Hobbycraft sells a St. Louis Car Company car, painted in
the New Orleans scheme. The New Orleans cars were built by Perley
A. Thomas Car Company. But the St. Louis cars look very good in
the Big Easy paint. I believe the cost is $125.00.

Here's a photo of the WHC model, compared with a real New Orleans car.

Atlas Industrial Rail did a slightly underscale one last year.

Thanks all - I'll check out your leads.
