Ok now I have a question for you all. I have a 4014 and I would like to get some of the new passenger cars to go behind it. My question is should I get just the experience car or should I get more than just that. I should also mention that I have a limited budget. Have at it. 

Anyone please feel free to correct me.  I believe 4014 did not have the componentry a to heat passenger cars, therefore it was used for freight use. As far as the experience car, I think you’re referring to excursion, correct? If between those two sets of cars, excursion or Challenger you may want to look at some threads or topics describing the differences between the two. I take it from what I’ve read, that the challengers are done better.   If you stay prototypical, freight cars. You can purchase them one or two at a time and that will help your budget. 

Thanks for your thoughts. Yes I am talking about the excursion car sets and the special baggage car. The baggage car is the special car that UP turned into a moving history museum. They took to Ogden and I was able to see it. I already have a good collection of pfe reefers so freight cars for my big boy are done. Know I’ve trying to get some passenger cars to match it and trying to make a decision on which two pack to get. Thanks. 

I don’t have pictures, but I have run 4005 with Challenger set and Excursion theater at the end.  Either set will look very nice.  If the special baggage car is the one with the print on the side, I am probably a player.  It does look good.  You have good taste.  I hope Lionel is done with Excursion and Challenger.  Complete set  covers 2/3rds of my outer loop.
