I've picked up three of the 21" passenger cars Lionel has put out for the N&W 611 excursion consist over the last couple months. Overall they look pretty nice. The Iowa Pacific dome is pretty much spot on. The FEC car is close enough (should have a smooth roof) and the NP dome is completely the wrong tooling. That being said, the cars are close enough for what I'm doing and probably the best you can get without getting in to brass. My only real complaint with the cars is the spacing. Even with those kinematic couplers there's a pretty big gap. Luckily they'll all soon have Kadees. Enjoy some pics, I haven't run the big dome yet to hear the sounds but I'm excited.
