Lionel did well with these piggy backs, they are very nice. I have 2 of the SP's and would love to find a few more but they are a hard find in that paint.
I am definitely buying that car. It looks beautiful. Enjoy.
SandJam,
You bet, I like them also! Real nice pictures by the way.

They are truly great models. Per an article in O Scale Trains Magazine, I up-graded mine to Kadee couplers and "fixed" the too-long inter-car trailer ramps. The real wood flooring really adds to the model, once it is weathered.
I have the Lackawanna, one of very few high end detailed (and delicate) things I own. I like the side doors that open as well as the back door detail. Amazing to me to see door latches almost as fine as human hair.
These were a pleasant surprise to arrive before Christmas, as I think they were originally scheduled for Feb/Mar 2013.
I passed on the newest Pennsy -- only 'cause I already have an earlier Pennsy 2-pack. But it's nice to see Lionel re-issuing some road names for folks who missed out on earlier runs.
The Illinois Central is a particularly nice one... And my favorite from the latest batch.
More nice ones -- and unique thus far -- are due out in the CN piggyback set later this year.

Exactly, I saw those in a previous catalog so I wanted a set and was glad they did them again for those who missed the first round!
