It really begs the question, what pictures was Lionel using when Drawing up their version of the CZ.
My current project is to repaint/decal postwar Lionel F3 AA's and newer, smooth-sided 15" Lionel passenger cars in the Great Northern Empire Builder livery. Having done similar projects in the past, it takes all of 10-15 minutes to google the pictures, car names and numbers of the prototype road.

Even without Google. The CZ is one of the most documented trains...
...In things called books. Information abounds...
Kato got it right in N, Broadway Limited got it right in HO, even Nickle Plate Products in the "olden days" of the 1970's in brass. Then there's also the much delayed Atlas O models.

Rusty, I had "Streamliners," and "Domeliners"before there was google. For me, I prefer to look at a picture in a book and read words in a book rather than looking at a computer monitor or some handheld device. I don't much like reading email on the smartphone for that matter.
