J, cut back on the caffeine. No one is disparaging MTH. The question was asked if these cars match the actual train. At this point the answer is they do not. A few may come close but the majority don't.
The cars used on the funeral train are part of the UP business train as well. Recently that has been led by UP 1943, The Spirit of UP. Those of us with either or both 1943 and 4141 would like to see a train modeled after these cars. Lionel is planning on doing a few. I could see if MTH decided to make the same cars in 18" the demand might actually greater than for Lionel's cars.
