I'll let you know. I just ordered a set last weekend, and am awaiting their arrival. I purchased them from Trainz, and the black Bonnet set is supposed to ship direct from the manufacturer. I am hoping for the best.
Also, what I wish is that Lionel would re-issue the Warbonnet series of freight cars they had a couple of years ago. They were something to look at! I think they would ld go real nice with the Black Bonnet.
