The new Lionel heritage passenger cars arrived today. Here are some rush pics and I will try to post better ones later. The quality and decoration are perfect. The baggage car has an issue that can be easily fixed but I am curious if they are all like this. The grab rails are all missing below the doors...but the holes are present. They were never installed. I assume an easy fix with the part and small spot of plastic safe glue. Also, are these cars accurate of the body styles for Amtrak? It seems most Amtrak single level heritage cars did not have the side skirts that were notched for the trucks. The baggage cars didn't either. Most had the fully exposed underside. Please see photos. The smooth side car is the coolest part of this IMO.
