Congrats Matt…
Wedding in CA, or at the lake?
I could whip out several of my flats and Gons that I used for the Mik challenge ( I have most all the wood cut already) if those would work. I could " LOAN " you trucks to put under them. It would be real easy to hook up for delivery if the wedding is at the cabin.

Wedding out in CA, Laguna.
I appreciate the offer and help , but since we’re doing this out in CA it’s probably easier to stick with simple plastic cars to paint.

Matt, I have what you want and am in the Orange area. If you want to borrow them, great. If you want to keep them, I’ll remove the metal wheels and Kadees and give you plastic replacements. They have been weathered and include removable loads and there are probably ~7 or more.
Super nice looking trainset Todd. Since we’ll be painting the cars in metallic colors I’d hate to mess up your great trainset. Way too nice for what we’re doing.

Why not make up your own using bits of wood or better yet get a length of plastic wood say a 1x4x8 and you could cut a bunch of 15"-18" long pieces from that, rob trucks off the cars you have and there you have your cupcake train.
I’m sure that most people at the wedding are not fine scale modellers like you Matt and most would see the cupcake train and say “cute” then stuff their faces.
Unfortunately I don’t have enough time to make cars, too close to crunch time. Worse, all of my spare G scale trucks etc…are out at our place in Colorado. We’re in California now and getting married in CA.
But the good news is I think we have enough cars now thanks to the great support and help I’ve gotten from forum members.
