                | Are the P. T. Barnum cars exactly the same?  I sold a couple just recently that we’re ostensibly the same car, but there were differences in the way the truss rods were made, and in the artwork on the side.

                | They all look identical, but will need to re-examine them now that I know they have different art work!

                | I happened to come across a pic of the P. T. Barnum cars I mentioned in an earlier post - I guess they qualify as a set: 
  I leave it to you to spot the differences, other than to say that the difference in color intensity between the two is real and not a result of lighting, camera angle or other photographic effect.
