Good to know. It appears both the Lone Star and Kenefick share almost identical interior arrangements as well. I suspect they only differ in color and detailing.

As near as I can tell from photos of both cars, it looks like Lionel has used the Kenefick window placements and I imagine the interior molding is patterned on that car as well. The differences inside the two cars are really pretty substantial in terms of finishes as Lone Star was upgraded to private hire service in what looks like UP’s luxury fittings - fairly plush even by hotel standards:

There’s a whole collection of Lone Star images here: https://www.up.com/aboutup/spe...star_slideshow.shtml. Kenefick is more utilitarian as witness what’s on the UP heritage fleet page: https://www.up.com/cs/groups/p...ocs/pdf_kenefick.pdf

Either one would make an interesting project. I have plans for detailing mine when I can get to it.
