I never did figure out why the builder of the 2000 / 2001 model run thought these cars needed shiny roofs and underframes. Though easily "fixed" with a little weathering, they sure were hard to take pictures of. So you can count on the 2006 model run to NOT have shiny roofs and underframes.

Notice also that the #309 in this photo has markers on it ? For the 2006 model run, here's the drill:

  • All Chili Line Coaches will have LIGHTED MARKERS.
    ( #309 here is NOT a Chili Line Coach. )
  • All Other Coaches except #320 will have NO MARKERS.
  • All Coaches in this production run will have LIGHTED INTERIORS.
  • All '30's Era Coaches in this production run will have Green Seats.
  • All '30's Era Coaches in this production run will have NO Rooftop Conduit.
  • All '40's Era Coaches in this production run will have Maroon Seats.
  • All '40's Era Coaches in this production run will have Rooftop Conduit.

    Other Coaches similar to #309 are: #256, 297, 301, 302, 306, 309, 318
