Lionel's CP 21" Streamlined Passenger Cars . . .

Finally received mine. First off, they look fine IMO despite some folks apparently being less than enthused about the non-stainless steel appearance of them. They look "metallic" enough that I likely would never have given it a thought had I not read first about the complaints.

I got the complete set of seven, i.e, the set of four boxed together (three coaches and 1 domed observation car), the additional set of two boxed together (dome car and coach) and the diner sounds car packaged on its own.

First job is getting Kadees onto them as I just can't personally abide otherwise beautiful scale cars with the claws!  So far, I have only opened the set of two boxed together. Strangely . . . the box includes only two custom spacers, or enough for just one of the two cars in the box. Strangely too, the dome car, while drilled for the custom spacer, the hole is not tapped. So, what was going to be a really simple matter has become the more typical Kadee conversion with my having to cobble together spacers out of styrene sheeting and tapping.

Also, a tad disappointed in that there are absolutely zero passengers! I appreciate there are never "enough" but I expected "some." Lionel CP 21 Coach 122
