Wow, these are really poorly done, given that they are supposed to be scale, and thus prototypical. Only the paint job looks something like Wabash. I pre-ordered, trusting Lionel to get them right, but I am returning them. Lesson learned. I am pretty tolerant of errors and generic variations grom the prototype, but this is ridiculous. I will wait for GGD to do them right. Why couldn't Lionel just copy the K-line domes? Those were much closer to the correct Budd dome.
I guess we know now, that these Lionel 21" cars are not intended to compete with the Atlas or GGD 21" cars, or even the old K-line 21" cars. They are scale length fantasy toys. A big step down from Lionel's own fairly correct 21" Texas Special cars from a few years ago (but those were really reboxed K-line aluminum cars). I am very disappointed.
