The Atlas cars have better details, but just wait until you try to run 12 of those cars together -- it is an exercise in derailment and chaos. May there be Mercy upon you if you have any O-71.99 curves.
In broader terms, the one or two cars at a time over a half dozen years is nutty, regardless of price who really wants to hope they someday get a working train, not me. For the CZ, three sets of 4 cars offered at the same time would be ideal. One can buy a working four car train, then add another four or eight has they may wish.
Never again would I embark on a multiple year, wish and prayer, train purchase. There is to much downside risk, to the buyer, what if Atlas had closed their O line during the downturn, or orders had failed to materialize along the way and they scrapped the project -- with the CZ observation at the end of production there could have been a whole lot of "sort of" CZ's without the signature observation car.
