I like these, and I like the idea of having optional builds with each set.
Rumours were that we'd see a B-kit before anything else, but these are a
nice surprise.
I do wonder about the mass appeal of these though - clearly they're aimed at
people who have a Super Chief, so I hope Lego Direct aren't launching at too
small a market.
Am I the only one who suspects that the labelling on these images is out of
order though? Why would a mail car have all windows? And a dining car may
be partly enclosed for a kitchen, but such tiny windows? This may be
typical of a buffet car, but aren't long-haul dining cars usually all big
windows with a separate kitchen car behind? I suspect that these two are
the wrong way round.
