2023年9月23日 · Thanks, 53ft cars cannot pass the girder curves on my layout, neither could 48ft. So I only use 40ft well cars. 48ft, 53ft containers go on top. I got a few articulated cars and added them to 5 car sets. Are there 6 cars sets or 7 car sets in real use?

Lionel aluminum passenger cars - Model Train Forum
2023年3月3日 · Nice looking cars, Bill. Those 15-inch cars have always been favorites of mine, especially the postwar Silver Range / Bluff / Cloud / Dawn cars. Here's a bit of useless trivia: this 18-inch SP Daylight dome car made by Phoenix Railways is part Lionel; when they were built, they used the dome from the 15-inch cars like the ones you are showing.
