Reply to "A First Look: Lionel Texas Special 21" Passenger Cars"

That's a VERY nice looking set of cars, hope you enjoy them! I like what Big L is doing with their passenger sets, but the 21" cars are too long for my layout, which I why I stick to the 18" cars. The 18" cars, IMHO, are a good compromise between the stubby looking 15" versions and the full scale 21" cars. A goodly number of us simply do not have the real estate for O72 or wider radius curves required to run the full scale cars.

Just think, lots of o-gauger's don't have room/diameter for 18" cars either. It's nice that Lionel can make offerings for several of the different factions of layouts.

David, I'd like to see a pic or two of the underside detail of these cars, if possible. I'd like to see how the couplers are mounted, plus maybe a photo of the included scale couplers you mentioned?

Thx. Martin
