I'd like to add some passenger cars to my layout. I'm modelling HO scale, and I like the look of streamliners. I have midwestern roads--Union Pacific, Santa Fe, and the CB&Q--on my layout. I'm leaning toward one of the new Rivarrossi UP sets right now. I can't afford brass, so it's plastic or nothing. I have 24" radius and 26 1/4" radius curves, with no. 6 turnouts on the mainline. Some have told me the curves are too tight for full length cars, though. Should I go with the Athearn cars, which are cheaper, but shortened? Walthers? I saw some IHC cars at my LTS and was not impressed. Gary
