There has been a lot of discussion on the Forum recently about passenger cars, an example in particular, the GM Train of Tomorrow from 3rd Rail. This gave me pause as to members' preference between polished metal or those that are painted as is the ToT. The difference of course is relative to the railroads you collect and what treatment they used for their passenger cars. But this also begs the question as to whether you buy passenger cars based upon their appearance or because they represent your favorite railroads. The look more than the railroads has a lot to do with my purchases. How about you?
