Be aware that BLI made at least one change in the second run of these cars. The sleeper (Silver Rapids) that represents the PRR contribution to this consist has been changed. The roof has been painted black and the letterboard now says PENNSYLVANIA. This is an attempt to represent the car at a later date in it’s service life. I have a friend who just recieved this car and was very dissappointed that they had made these changes after the 1st run.
That is too bad. I hope the place where he bought it will let him take it back or exchange it. It also makes me nervous, since I ordered about 20 more….I’ll have to carefully examine them immediately upon arrival. Fortunately, the Silver Rapids was the very first car I bought.
Thanks for the heads up.
I got the Silver Rapids on the first run also. BLI seemed to slip in the change without telling anyone.
I thought some of the first run extra cars were still around.
The cars listed below are from the first run.
535 Roomette PRR 8449 Silver Rapids 4 $52
P.S.
The new Silver Rapids has the same product number as the original.
