Visible even in its cellophane/plastic packaging, the dome car arrived with an annoying gap where one end of the dome meets the main body of the passenger car:
Fortunately, applying some gentle but firm pressure to the offending end fixed what first appeared to be disappointing and shabby workmanship.

Lionel has stated that the new 21" cars were engineered to make it easy to add passengers. I was just wondering if the dome is supposed to pop out in order to be able to add passengers? If so, I can understand how it may have come loose on its long voyage from the factory. Did the sets come with instructions for adding figures (just curious on this)?

They are beautiful, and now I'm almost anxious for the PRR cars I'm ordering from the new catalog!
