MTH Arrow Car

[NW Modeling List]

The eBay listings appear all screwed up.  Don't go by description or even the picture.  Instead, verify the part number.  I believe the part numbers for the first run ended in 1X, while the new releases end in 5X or 6X.  Even the descriptions on MTH's own website appear suspect.  The separate coaches in the current run are 536 and 539.

This is the other set with the car numbers ending in 2, except for the diner.  When MTH did their first run, they also offered diner 492 as a separate car.  For this run, the diner in the set is 494/Fredrick J Kimball, and the 493/General William Mahone is offered separately, along with a pair of P3 coaches with different numbers.  The other big change is the color of tuscan.  I personally felt the color on the first run was a little faded/purple/dull, something.  This new run features a richer color that is very close to the factory paint used by Key and Overland on their N&W passenger cars.
