That's not surprising.  They weren't even close to the prototype cars and more proof MTH doesn't even try to understand the S market.

Since it is the only S boxcar MTH has in its line-up... perhaps they are just fine for the majority of people whose priority is just to have cars with those decorations on them... regardless of whether they are "prototypical."

Let's put it this way:

These things were released 6-7 months ago and they didn't even make the "5 or less in stock" list.  If they were just fine for the majority of the people who wanted boxcars with these decorations they wouldn't have wound up on the Bay at blow-out prices.

MTH must have recognized that in spite of the honorific decorations, these cars were losers for them.
