Now that I think about it think I'm going to send mine back for a full refund(there are other things I can spend $800 plus dollars on). I will call Lionel in the morning. The ribbed roof on the cars and several other factors are really disturbing. If you go look at the catalog pictures they were presented smooth. Not sure what they modeled the road numbers after because when I look them up the real cars look absolutely different. Also the quality has to improve significantly on the simple stuff. I think all of us should send them back as they really not prototypical for these cars and the quality is terrible. This was really a manufacturing debacle as the wrong shells were used. I really do think they used the ESE leftovers and attempted to make them in to SP daylight without giving a thought! Thanks to all the res ponders here on the forum its pretty clear this was not a stellar job even for non rivet counters. Maybe Lionel should do a redo and send all who purchased the corrected set. Happy Railroading!! Cheers Don
