Was this set of cars lettered for Santa Fe or Lionel lines?  Are there two roof variations?  In one set of photos, the cars appear to have smooth roofs.

This aluminum 4 car passenger set is lettered LIONEL LINES. The lighted drum head on the observation car has the Super Chief lettering along with the Indian Chief Headdress War Bonnet. This is the only reference to the Super Chief. The only smoothness on the aluminum surface is the band with the windows. Other wise the aluminum is fluted. The two car add on sets are identical to the 4 car set. The 4 car sets shipping carton has a 1996 manufacturing date. They're just like the post war 2500 series passenger cars but better. I've had this set since new and are favorites of mine for Christmas running.
