The GN Man posted:These cars are very nice, but it is NOT a 1956 Empire Builder, other than the dome cars. The other cars are modeled after the 1947 Empire Builder; those cars were reassigned to the Western Star in 1951 and lost their “Empire Builder” letterboards. This is most apparent from the RPO and the observation car being in the “River” series instead of the “Coulee” series.
Well they are advertised as 1956, even at this moment, on the GGD website. Although, after reading your comments above I did do a little research and did confirm the "River" vs "Coulee" ...

Nope, I am truly lucky in my eyes and have the; Glacier View.
