While I never had the election car, my very first set of passenger cars was the MPC brown Pennsy cars - world’s WORST dummy couplers!!! They looked great being pulled by my original post-war 637 steamer. Still have them packed away somewhere in the basement.

They look good behind the PW 675 steamer.  Bet they also look good behind the pair of PRR geeps.  Almost got them except I went with the Amtral F3 ABA.  Figured early Amtrak used almost anything......

On the short hood on the Geeps,there seem to be some vents.  My guess is to vent heat from the motor and light.  But they seem to model the vents for a steam generator.  Very few Geeps had them, but maybe Lionel folowed the EMD "Form follows funtion."
