MTH Arrow Car

[NW Modeling List]

I agree with you on the investment opportunity, as long as there is 
interest in accurate models, even though they are plastic. In addition, 
most engines won't pull a brass set of equivalent cars. I have both sets 
of the Arrow cars and 3 of the MTH J's, and all of them out perform all 
the other manufacturers' products.  If we could get a really good K, 
from anyone, I would be over the moon happy!!!

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.
