Those are nice looking cars. They're big enough to look right with the engine pulling them and to not look too "shorty." They're not so big as to look silly going through the curves.

| Thanks Don. I've been thinking about how it will look when I get all the cars done. I've come to appreciate these early Mantua cars. When you look at (what I've seen, which may not be much) what's available in brass old time passenger coaches, the Mantua cars seem more economical and really not lacking in much detail, by comparison.

Barry, honestly those Mantua coaches have no need to apologize to anyone - they look great. I guess you could go for more detailed brass but in my opinion it would be overkill.

They look really nice. It seems like a shame to paint them.
