Reply to "The LONG-AWAITED Lionel Milwaukee Road Passenger Cars are Shipping!!!"

UPS package arrived this morning... and I took a quick peek inside during our lunch-break.  Photos to follow later today or tomorrow, when I get some free time away from stuff we're working on deadline today... but here are some quick observations: 

 

  • The 2-pack consists of a diner along with the full-dome "superdome" vista -- just as illustrated on Lionel's current website description.   YES!!! 
  • The Superdome car has a full-length view of the detailed dome interior with standing conductor and about 14 seated passengers.
  • I think the cars look absolutely terrific, but I will tell you right now that some folks will once again be complaining about Lionel's treatment of the windows.  They are NOT quite flush to the aluminum sides... but as I've always maintained this is not a problem at all.  And these cars appear to have a nice, simulated metal trim around the window perimeters.  If you don't like this approach, I'm sure these cars will be gone in a heartbeat anyway... so the discussion is completely irrelevant in the long run.

 

Bottom line... VERY pleased to see these finally... now to get the 4-pack with what will hopefully be a Cedar Rapids solarium observation!!!   And if we're lucky, perhaps even a StationSounds car down the road.
