Fox Valley streamlined cars

[NW Modeling List]

 Thanks to Drew for linking to the long-ago initial release review by Jlwii2000. It shows the detail, mentions imperfections from back then that were overcome and possibly won't appear on the Scale Trains version. I think I'll sign up for the two coach cars I can use.

 Jeff,
They're the first run of them by Scale Trains, so nobody knows yet. But they're ex-MTH tooling. There's a few reviews of them on Youtube. Here's Jlwii2000's review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Z2gIlJfBe8
But, to make a long story short, they're basically the best passenger cars ever made in HO scale. They're incredibly free-rolling, never flicker and have great detail. I have no need for any more, but am considering buying them anyway because the "new red" color MTH used for the first run (which I have) was a bit too purple.
Scale Trains has indicated that they will be using brighter LEDs than the MTH ones, and that the rear marker lights will be more visible.
I hope this helps.Drew

Scale Trains is taking preorders on what seems to be a reissue of Powhatan Arrow streamlined cars. Can anyone point me to a review of these models? I need a couple of 501/511 cars for use on trains 1/2 in their last years.
