2019 Catalog Polar Express Chocolate & RPO (Page 23) - UP Add-on cars (page 65)

I purchase the Legacy Berkshire and the cars that were announced on the earlier catalog.  The cars arrived to us at the end of last month.  On page 23 of the new catalog, are the Chocolate Car and the RPO intended to match the cars we just received?  I would like to pre-order, but want to be fairly sure.

Regarding the UP Challenger, (page 65) has baggage car in addition to the 2-car set.  I have the extra 2 pack I bought when I purchased the cars last year.  The catalog shows a 2-car add on that looks the same as offered before.  I think I will pass on those, but what about the 60' yellow baggage car.  It does not look like it belongs to the 21" cars.  Am I correct or is that what was used in real life.  Cars look like 2 different styles.

I picked up all the up 21" cars so far and the RPO.  The challenger cars are fantastic and for whatever the reason I prefer them over the excursion vs.   I will probably pick up both add ons packs because I want to get as many domes as possible as their excursion trains are full of domes.   Ill probably do one of each baggage and they greyhound rpo.   That old weaver tooling is very nice. and blends in well with the 21" cars to answer your question.  The yellow RPO looks right at home in the challenger consist

Page 23?  I only see the NYC set on PAge 23! Do you mean PAge #152 & 153? IF so the "HOT chocolate car will have station sounds complete with HOT chocolate song and Squeals. Then there is a 15th anniversary car and the Abandoned toy are for this White top set.

NOt to mention the PE Freight Boxcar with Freight car sounds!

It’s not real clear due to the glare on the photos as whether all three scale PE passenger cars have snow (kinda looks like they do), but given the “POLAR EXPRESS” is printed above the windows instead of below them, it looks like everything but the black roof RPO is decorated to match the 2018 release and not the earlier release.

Never mind looking up the info on the RPO's.  I decided to purchase them.  I will dig in to the PE stuff tomorrow, and place my order.

Sorry about the page numbers.  Must have been the excitement of the new catalog.  Good news, I kept the pre-order less than 4 digits.
