I got the bunk and kitchen car in PRR.  Still waiting on the tool car.

Here is a video I did of the kitchen car.  Pretty cool set of cars.  The sound varies a bit more than in my video and changes to the typical wheel squeal and bumping when in motion.

Thanks for the video. I assume these are based off the K-Line models from 15 years ago.

The kitchen, tool car and bunk cars have all shipped in.  I only have a few of the New York Centrals left.

Pros:
Detail of the cast metal steps, ladders etc. are all nice.
Good detail under the frame.
Color of the paint looks good on the New York Centrals.  (Yes REALLY!)

Cons:
Thumbtack couplers on trucks.  Change them out for Kadee's if desired.
Smoke Stack is five feet tall.  Isn't that a tad too tall?
Minimal details around the door of the Bunk Car.  (How did the doors open on the prototype)?

Overall, I'm happy with them especially because they are not orange or some other funky color Lionel dreamed up and no casting mold parting lines like most of the high-end Lionel steam locomotives have had over the past year or so.
