I am also very happy with the set and echo all the other comments made
The set looks and feels like 1955---good job Lionel
Two observations---
All the cars came out of their boxes a lot easier than some of the earlier CC sets
I feel like repacking will not be a nightmare---a little more wiggle room---nice
Also the bumpers on the autos are painted silver and not chrome plated like the originals ????
No big deal---I didn't even notice it at first---oh well
However they look really good
Just my take
Thx
