It does look nice and the price is higher also at $89.99.  Is the the original price or has it increased???

Well, what I saw, including the articulated chair, are very handsome models, but I'm kind of disappointed that BLI has chosen the post-1950 Daylight without the skirting.  Okay, we get to see more 'details', but for me, the asthetics of the original Daylight had a lot to do with the fact that from locomotive to observation, the train looked like one un-interrupted structural unit.  And a great deal of it had to do with the skirting on the cars. 

However, with that said, ANY series of those beautiful and unique Daylight cars is preferable to none at all. 

I'll bite.  Besides, my Balboa GS-4 has been waiting for a train for almost 20 years.
