Wheels of Time Baggage Cars First Look

I received 5 of these today.  1 CN, 2 IC and 2 ACL.  Nice hefty cars which run smoothly.  The painting on these are great.  The doors open on all cars.  The CN car has single square windows.  The others have the 3 slotted windows.  CN came in Maple Leaf Scheme.  I'm no expert on CN colors but they look like the photos of CN cars I've seen.  The ACL are a Pullman Green with which lettering.  The IC cars are Brown and Orange and are listed as 64 foot mail storage cars.  Check them out, I think you'll like them.

A few years ago, they stated they were going to do a modernized PRR P-70 car.  Those I could use.

Picked up my CNR's today and had to use all my self control not to have them in my hands whilst driving home..... these are uber sweet.... nice detail; great colour match and print quality. They have correct ends and trucks ( look to be MT's); are very close to the "Real McCoy" for CNR and they roll very well; nice and heavy as they should be for head end cars - they will look awesome after some TLC (read weathering.... when's Tom's book coming to Canada anyway; LHS still is waiting for it ?...........Tom; deal with this will ya..? - LOL)

These guys are on to something; big price tag but bigger deliverables !

Model railroading isn't saving my life, but it's providing me moments of joy not normally associated with my current situation..... Train are good!
