Those are gorgeous, Frank! If I came across a set like that at a show it would likely be coming home with me.

It is to bad that the builder of this set didn't take that little extra time and put some more work into the shades on the windows. I think that all the shades being in the same place, at the same height could never happen. Maybe after a cleaning the workers would put the shades to a height that there supervisors would have wanted. Once the first passengers boarded the train, this equal setting would have changed. Also noted was the fact that the builder forgot to put the shades in the observation car and latter painted them onto the plastic windows.
