Looking for DC Metro Subway Cars

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I recall ads in Model Railroader in the late-1970s or early-1980s that had "tinplate" O gauge DC Metro cars. I believe the manufacturer was Elliot (somebody). My 72 year old brain is having a hard time remembering.

Now I remember! I believe it was was Eliott Welz that had the DC Metro cars.

You'd think there would be a place that specializes in the urban railroad models. I've been dying to find some HO scale equipment for any of TMTC's rolling stock...

I think they used to be available from Athearn in HO. Possibly they were repaints of their BART cars.

If they're not in the current catalog you could try on EBAY.

They were from Walthers, and in HO scale, but over 2 decades ago.

Not sure about that: I seem to remember they were in the 2000 catalog, which I still have around here, somewhere. (These cars were available in either BART or DC Metro paint.)
