Marty, Sorry, no. I'm in no posistion to comment about the CV cars specifically. Rather I found that the art work in general on the website for all of their offerings tended to give the models a more

So Pierre, are you saying the cupolas and side windows on the CV cars correct? There's been a lot of confusion about that, and I'm only trying to get a straight answer. Marty McGuirk

Some "lifespan" info on the web page would help boost sales among the post-1947 crowd. (I see a huge number block in the ORER of January 1953, with more than 11000 cars in service.) And offering the
