And in fact, Randy, I forgot to mention that I bought a very nice set of those cars from someone on this list just a few months back. They were UP. I don't know how demanding your requirements are for fidelity to prototype, and I am not familiar enough with GN cars to know if you could satisfactorily paint and/or convert a set such as I got. Good luck :) Roy I
