Is it me or does the overspray on the pictures of the cars on their site seem a bit extreme?

Otherwise they look like a very nice car for a decent price, I'll have to order some.

 Yes, yes, a very nice car for the price! Even I a mostly transition era type of guy would buy some. We use to accept "Metal Wheels" as the norm so why can't we accept Low Profile Metal wheels now as the norm and give up the new version MT Low Pros which are not made as good as their old ones. I would cetrainly pay a few bucks more for real Metal Low Pros and also "Body Mount" couplers. I has always been my belief, though not stated here before that all cars should come with body mounted couplers execpt those in train sets with sharp curves, and those who wish to reverse convert would buy the truck mounted couplers  instead. Oh and yes could they be close to Z scale Nn3 size.                                   Nate Goodman (Nato). Salt Lake, Utah.
