Lookee Here: Flyer Camp Cars At The LCCA Convention

Any new stuff in S is good new stuff...but still...this gets a big shoulder shrugging “ehhhh” from me.

Here's an enlargement from the above photo:

Looks like newly tooled sides for the standard Flyer boxcar.

I'll give credit for Lionel doing something that hasn't been done by SHS or AM this time around, but A: I'm not in the market for work train cars and B: The molded on roofwalks are a turn-off for scale guys like me.

These cars should be popular with the Flyer Folks to add to their Lionel/Flyer or Gilbert work trains.  I also suspect these camp cars will be available in Polar Express or North Pole Express for those enthusiasts.

Well, I'm kinda excited about a newly tooled Flyer car that isn't a copy of some Lionel O Gauge fantasy car.  I was not pleased with the quality of the detail (too coarse) or the premise of these cars.  

I'm okay with a car with the quality of detail found in the 1950's Gilbert products, and I was okay with the quality of detail in Bay Window Cabooses in S that were retooled by Lionel

but disappointed in the quality of detail (again, too coarse) in the other new cabooses produced by Lionel 

I probably will buy one of the camp cars and one of the kitchen cars unless the deco is hideous (like this).
