Preview of the kits are at
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=5608.  The prototype
pictures
do not show the application of the stripe stickers.  They also include
detail interiors, but no minifigs.

However, I'm not encouraged at the pricing.  Buying the parts alone, from
Brickbay at the average selling price would run around $75-$80.  Other
200+ piece kits from artistians would put it in the similar ballpark price
of
$60-$80.  While I have not set prices, these are some guidelines and the
fact a 10001 has most of the parts to build two of the cars.

Stay tune for announcement of availablity and pricing.

Love the RPO and sleeper car (which looks a lot like 7815 from what I can
see... coincidence?) I think about $75 would be a fair price, IF you added
some nice instructions.

Still don't understand LEGO doesn't do anything like this... they did back
in the 12v era (look at 7815, 7819 and 7820 ... awesome models!) A train
with only 1 or 2 cars just doesn't look right.
