The overseas manufacturing relationships are too precarious right now to risk purchasing one car at a time. But if you want the CZ from Atlas, that's the only way to do it. Although Lionel's new version of the CZ cars will be 18" vs 21" from Atlas-O, I opted for Lionel's entire set approach due out mid-2013.

I really like Lionel 18" passenger cars and have a bunch of them. As far as the CZ cars, all I have seen are the catalog pictures and they show only two dome cars. The observation car does not have a dome. Do you know any more about the dome cars in the set?
