Reply to "Length of GGD 20th Century Ltd cars"

I have both the K-Line and GGD (2012) 20th Century Car 12-car, full-scale-length 1949 sets.  The recent GGD offering has a somewhat different car set.  As Big John noted, the GGDs are accurate models of cars in the typical 20th Century consists.  While the K-Line cars are "generic" as to window patterns and such (and most 10-6 sleepers were similar) and they aren't as detailed, their paint scheme appears accurate.  Unlike some of the MTH cars, the K-Line "hotel" cars are accurately labeled PULLMAN primary, NYC secondary.  I'm undecided on whether to sell my K-Line 20th Century and ESE cars.  I have the GGD versions of both, but my layout-under-construction really isn't big enough for 12x21" car passenger trains, despite 104" minimum diameter visible curves, and the local club's display layout doesn't have the curve diameter to do them justice.  I may well keep my K-Line 18" pre-WWII cars simply on the basis of total train length and my layout dimensions.  The question reduces to "excellent" vs. "spectacular" - and what you're willing to pay.
