Just a word to those who might be thinking similarly... The Shasta Daylight colors are not an exact match to that of the Daylight steam locomotives from Lionel. They're close enough for my tastes, but some of you out there may be sticklers for an exact match.

The Daylight steam locomotive colors are brighter, whereas the Shasta Daylight color scheme is a subtle deeper shade of orange/red... more of an exact match to the PA Alco diesels or even the SD70ACe heritage diesel. You'd need to go back to the 2005-2006 passenger set to get the matching color scheme to the steam locomotives.

Again... just a word of caution. But these are otherwise magnificent 18" aluminum passenger cars. Charlie Ro had the 4-car set on sale for year-end. Might be worth checking in with them if you're thinking of grabbing a set.
