New? Bachmann streamliners

[NW Modeling List]

The ScaleTrains passenger cars are $90, and are ex-MTH tooling, which are
clones of the Key Imports brass models. They - and the rest of the MTH
passenger cars - are probably some of the nicest passenger cars on the
market.

The Bachmann ones are generic stand-ins. Train World has them for $65/each.
* Observation - NYC prototype
* Diner - Northern Pacific prototype
* Baggage and coach - Unsure of the prototype.
