Reply to "Just found these 21" ATSF Passenger Cars on Lionel Web Site"

Well, there is another 2-pack listed on the Lionel website:

http://www.lionel.com/products...ar-2-pack-1-1927020/

And that illustration shows a coach and diner.  It is good that there are more cars, because you need at least one diner and the regular dome car would not fit in with the full dome car.  The cars illustrated are all Budd cars with correct names and numbers, except for the regular dome car.  The Santa Fe regular dome cars were Pullman built, not Budd.  The Budd full dome that was just delivered in Reading Northern is pretty much spot on for a Santa Fe big dome (even better if they add the breaker bars in front and back of the big dome).  So, I am hopeful that this will be a fairly accurate complete 8 car set (baggage, 2 coaches, diner, big dome, 2 sleepers, observation), leaving out the regular dome car.  It would be nice if they offered another diner instead of the regular dome, because there would be a diner for the coach passengers and a separate one for the sleeper passengers on the prototype trains.  But this could be a pretty accurate shortened version of the mid-1950's San Francisco Chief (with the nice look of an added observation car), and maybe some other Santa Fe named passenger trains.
