Fox Valley streamlined cars

[NW Modeling List]

Hi,
I have an MTH Arrow set, they are great. I am a bit of a passenger train enthusiast, I have at least one from Walthers, Rapido, Con-Cor, MTH, and hopefully soon BLI’s combine. I have nothing bad to say about the MTH at all. The only thing you can even consider is changing the length of the couplers to bring the diaphragms together closer, but that’s just if you have the layout space for them.

I have no need for any more, but am considering buying them anyway because the "new red" color MTH used for the first run (which I have) was a bit too purple.
