I've been wondering about the recent LIRR passenger cars that Lionel released a couple of years ago. I haven't seen any pictures of them yet, aside from the ones from the catalog, and I just want to see more detailed pictures of them. Also, what type of passenger cars are they supposed to be?
And here's what they look like, for those who don't know:
Long Island 21" Coach 4-Pack (lionel.com)

Nice work. What figures did you use? I have an expanded set of the UP Excursion cars I need to do interiors on.
I used mostly the cheap figures from China I did use flesh colored paint on their faces and used artist pens to give them red lips and black blue or green eyes ( just put two dots) I also mixed in some of Lionel’s figures which are made from K line tooling The Lionel figures are nicer and fit the seats better but are several times more expensive Other figures are also available The cheap chinese figures are about thirty cents a piece Other figures can cost from eighty cents to up to six dollars each The higher the cost the the more detailed the figures If you search the forum you will find some really nice threats on this subject especially if you search : ppl detailing Lionel’s 21 inch Broadway limited cars
@FJI Thanks for the video, they look very beautiful! And are those cars supposed to be P75's?
I am not sure.what these cars are but I did ride them sometimes when I lived in Babylon and worked in Queens
They are a lot of money for being incorrect. Should have open doors at both ends as commuter cars were. Too long for O as well. Nothing like P72 style other than the length. Kline were closer but still wrong. Island model works were what they should have produced. MTH never got it right either.
