I remembered a there are few pics of 1938 20th Century cars in Staufer’s Thorougbreds [sic].

The cars include an RPO, a couple of Pullmans and an Observation. Lionel’s are pretty close if not spot on. The catalog does say all new tooling.

FWIW, I am not a fan of Lionel’s 21 inchers but a number of them at least have correct exteriors including their UP and Empire State Express cars, maybe more but those I haven’t paid any attention to.

Yes.  I noticed that Lionel seems to have gotten the twin diners right in the drawings, including the trucks.  That is encouraging.  With new tooling, there is no excuse to not get the exteriors correct.
