You got them! Congrats. I really like those cars and wished I had ordered more. I had guessed wrong that Lionel would keep making them so I only ordered one set. I converted mine to 2 rail to run on my layout.
As I mentioned in the description, the third car arrived broken. A wire coming from the pickup roller is de-attached. I am dropping it off at my dealer for it to be soldered back on.
They are cool cars, I found some a while back, got the matching set as well, very cool set. When the PFE reefers came out, I bought two sets so I have an extra sound car.
I just brought the other sound car to my dealer. He thinks the board is fried, so I have to send it to Lionel. Hopefully they still have replacements.

I replaced the RCDR TMCC receiver in one of mine, that part was still available. The RS5 bare board is readily available, so unless the chips in the board were damaged, you can replace that. The "powered MB" is also still available.
After an hour in the train room, I fixed the third car! I still need to fix the coupler, which sags down and when you push it up it shorts, but it is a start!
What was wrong with the sound?

The sound in the third tank car just fat out would not work. As it turned out,the board wasn't connected to the car, so I reattached it.
Connections are very important!
I have learned!
