One good thing about this set is you can swap the roofs. I have this Pennsylvania set . Since the PRR didn't have a dome car, I purchased an extra roof and swapped out the dome and have an additional passenger car.
Unfortunately, compared to a Williams postwar repro of these cars, the postwar repro is miles ahead in paint decoration and heft due to the metal parts used in it's construction.

Mark:

Just to clarify, those are the Williams cars in your photos, right? If so, I agree that they are much better looking than the Lionel 16000 series PRR cars. I have the 16000 series PRR cars and did the same thing as you did with my #16000 vista dome as I bought another coach and switched roofs so that I now have a #16000 coach. I run the set behind a postwar 681. That switched-out vista-dome plus the full vista-dome car are in a box.
