Any one made copies of these or know where to obtain them? Also how do they look running in the dark?

I have some that I purchased at York 3-4 years ago. Haven't put them in yet but never thought about making copies. Thanks for the idea.

Thanks for the reply since no one else replied can I email you?
I have this set in Lackawanna. They only did the color silhouettes for a few years at most in both the small cars and also in the 20" scale cars. Compared to the standard black and white ones, I find these quite attractive. I suspect copies would be the best way to replicate these as they are not common. I wouldn't go as far to say rare, but still something interesting and different.

Thanks. They look nice in photos how do they look running in the dark?
Dave,
You ask a great question. I don't know! I'll have to clear my main and see. I picked up the cars at auction and never ran them on my layout. I even have a K-Line Trainmaster to pull them with. Give me a few days.
These cars were made during the Williams /Samhongsa era of the late 1980's to 1991 when Williams did a "blowout sale" and ****ed off a lot of collector's and people who pre-ordered. This destroyed the Samhongsa relationship who then turned to Weaver models to import the Samhongsa product line. The Heavyweight cars became MTH's premiere line of cars- abeit updated with interiors and now led lighting.
