21” Executive and 611 Excursion Cars-Do Cars From Each Set Look Good Together?

CLARIFICATION UPDATE - for those who may be unsure the original post pertains to Lionel Norfolk Southern 611 Excursion Coach passenger coach sets (4-pack-#1927200, 2-pack-#1927600) from 2019 ... AND ... the Norfolk Southern Executive Train passenger car sets (4-pack, 2-pack) from 2020 having diner, sleeper coach, and generator cars.

Ken,

Tough question.  What looks good(acceptable) to you may not look good to someone else.  For instance, many O scale modelers only run passenger cars which came from a manufacturers' set.  Others prefer the look afforded by purchasing cars one at a sime from one or more manufacturers.  As discussed many times before, Pullman Green is a rather dubious color which tends to lead me to believe that N&W and PRR Tuscan may have looked different on different cars depending on length of service, weather and type of ballast of the home railroad.

I wouldn't count on them matching, I own the complete NS OCS set,  they goofed the color on the theater car,  it was basically pinkish,  they reran the theater car to fix the error, and it still dont match, granted its way better than 1st try

John, thanks for your comments! I have not thought about other manufacturer's fit with cars these cars mentioned in the post.

I am honestly trying to figure out with these two sets what Lionel is trying to do. If their similarities are nearly 100% same why not add more cars to the first set out (the 611 Excursion) with new car numbers fand car types from the history of the real trains, vs. make it seem like a completely different set for collectors.

The basic question remains, how similar are these cars? Does anyone have examples of both sets? The pictures and documents put out to buy from are very difficult to judge for big $$ purchases.
