Norton posted:If GGD offers an alternative then for sure that would be an option but in the case of the Union Pacific Excursion cars I am not aware of GGD doing anything close other than the 4 car Train of Tomorrow. K-Lines cars are OK but again represent the cars as built, not as they appear today.

My fond hope was that GGD would do the Excursion Cars but for whatever reason - maybe it was licensing - they did not and so the only reasonably accurate version is the Lionel ABS cars. These do have something that I have not seen in any other 3rail O gauge cars, which is accurate domes. Sure, Lionel took some annoying short cuts like no passengers but then GGD's "Little People" are, frankly, not great figures.
It is no easy/short job to detail the interiors of these cars but it's very rewarding if you do, IMHO. My projects also tend to get more elaborate as they go, which is a great enemy of efficiency/speed.
