Cocker: Frisco may have had a number of colored coaches on its Meteor train, but I don't want red behind this engine on my layout. Do You? It's a blue and white engine.
The reason why Lionel isn't making passenger cars was written by me earlier here and in the S Gaugian. Lionel uses two separate companies, one to make the engines and the other to make cars. The minimum order for cars is much larger than engines. Lionel didn't want to have bunches of extra car sets with no engines for them.
