Hello all. New to the forum. Recently picked up a LGB coach used. Was a Craigslist purchase, didn't really look at the coach that well, was part of a 4 car purchase. I know buyer beware!
After I brought it home, noticed it was heavily modified. I am just curious what it looked like originally. Let me describe what it looks like now.
1) It has been painted, the original paint is starting to show as scratches, looks like a brownish orange.
2) Coach is the smaller frame, two axle, yellowish orange windows (not painted).
3) Had 3rd class stickers, these have been painted over.
4) Coach has 3007 stamped by the door.
5) Roof is gray (not painted). A sky light as been added, looks nice but not original.
6) Truck stamped "made in West Germany"
7) Seats are black, do not look painted.
8) No inspections stickers.
9) Has notches above doors for lighting.
Anyone have any ideas where I should start to look on-line to star my search? i'm sure LGB has offered many models from the 3007 casting. Personally I have seen a lot of 1st and 2nd class coaches. Are the 3rd class ones just as common? Do all LGB trucks say made in West Germany. I am located in the USA.
Any help greatly appreciated.
