Well guys, I am really excited about this purchase. I have been wanting some longer passenger cars for my Santa Fe engine and I recently found these KLINE cars. I can't run the 15" Aluminum cars everyone has as they will not pass the tight clearances on my layout. I had been running the Lionel 0-27 cars but at 10 1/2 " they are a little short. So I found these KLINE cars, that are closer to scale at 12 1/2 inches and will traverse my layout. So here is my new passenger consist.
Here is the full consist with my Lionel #212 war bonnet Santa Fe Alco's from 1960-64
Here is a close up of the baggage car and the combine car.
Here is the dome car and the observation

Close up of the observation car, yes those lights on the rear do show through from the interior car illumination.
To illustrate my desire for a bit closer to scale, here is the Lionel 0-27 dome car on the left in comparison with the KLINE dome car on the right. The Lionel car is 10 1/2 " long and the KLINE car is 12 1/2 " long. Quite a noticeable difference.
Well best wishes everyone.
