Interesting products. I would probably only want the passenger cars at first. Then for more realism, I'd put the locomotive of the host railroad on the front! (an NS SD80MAC or BNSF Evolution, for instance) Big Smile [:D]

I always thought the K-Line 027 passenger cars looked just a little better prortioned than Lionel's. Those are nice.

They look pretty sharp for a kid-friendly or visitor-friendly train.

Thanks for the pics! Years ago I saw similar cars when I was in Winston Salem NC ! Didn't have my camera at the time.  I was there with my son. He use to travel the country racing RC cars. He was sponsered by several companies.

The entire circus (at least the Red or Blue Unit, depending) travels by my house in Cary NC each year. It's definitely the longest "passenger" train I've ever seen. Some of the cars look quite nice. After the passenger and dining cars, etc., come the livestock and flatcar after flatcar as shown in the pictures above. It is quite a sight. I think it took the thing 15-20 minutes to pass by, but that may be overstating. It is a LONG train, though. ---------------
