Pros:
Reading roadname, negotiates 18 inch radius curves
Cons:
Window shades all at one level, heavy, no interior detail
This is a nicely done car with just the right amount of details. The grab irons are plastic and secured well. The car rides well on my layout and negotiates the 18 inch radius curves with no problems. The car came with plastic knuckle couplers which I changed to Kadees with no problem.
The car is heavy and when coupled with two passenger coaches my older IHC steam locos have trouble pulling them. You will need locos with some pulling power to haul these cars.
I hid the fact there are no seats or other interior details by dirtying the windows when I weathered the car.
If you model the Reading and want to have any passenger cars this is a great buy.
