Reply to "Atlas O California Zephyr Passenger Car Sets Available for Order"

Hello all,

I am arguing with myself (for now...perhaps with my wife later if I decide to buy!) about getting the GSC complete set of cars. People mention the 21" length of the cars and how they'd "fit" on a layout. I have an 072 outside loop with an 063 on the inside. I assume these cars will be OK on the 072 loop, but would there be such overhang that it would interfere with the 063 loop? I also have a set of 18" passenger cars. If I run those on one loop with the CZ 21" cars on the other, would the difference in size look weird?

Thanks for any opinions! I have loved this train for so long (when I dabbled in N gauge a decade ago or so, the only train I bought was the KATO Zephyr), but I don't want to buy it and then have to just keep it on a shelf.

Peter
