You will be impressed Ron. MTH really upped its game with their passenger cars. Incredibly sharp graphics, complete underbody detail vs just between the trucks, more prototypical diaphrams, closer coupling with no thumb tacks. Also baggage doors that open like the prototype and fit flush with the body when closed. No doors on the casket side though. Here is the other end next to a new Lionel 21" car.

I have MTH's first and second flag baggage cars.  The first one numbered 5769 (doors not painted) and second one numbered 5769 which is prototypically correct for UP's other car. In fact was going to use the first one for the funeral car.  But then saw things probably could not duplicate.  So ordered the new one.

Bought the Bush 41 (UP 4141) years ago when first out.  And many years ago bought these passenger sets.  Note two dome cars in set.

I am currently working on the original set baggage car to convert it to.

Also recently bought the MTH madison (heavyweight) set to get the observation car.

So will have a far representation of the funeral train.
