To clarify, the DAP set was Premier, not RailKing. The RailKing set was released at a later time and was not associated with MTH's DAP program. This makes the RailKing set a little easier to find. The Premier DAP set had scale F7 engines with scale details including the second B-unit. The RailKing set had engines based on Lionel's Postwar F3s except that a few minor details had been upgraded when MTH did the redesign several years before. The second B-unit was not offered. Both sets had cars offered when the engines were offered. The Premier DAP had 70' streamlined cars and the RailKing had 60' streamlined cars. The RailKing set had a baggage, full-dome, short dome, observation, sleeper, diner, and two coaches. The Premier DAP set had five sleepers, boat-tail observation, full-dome, and three coaches. As for engine paint problems, occasionally, one of the Premier DAP ones will pop up with a paint issue. I have that set and have not had a paint issue. I am not aware of any RailKing versions that have a paint issue.
