MTH Premier NYC Madison (Heavyweight) Passenger Cars - Pictures?

Nick, 20-4071 appears to be the last NYC set released with the green paint.

The 20-4065 set and 20-4365 add on baggage car prior to that from 2004 have the portholes.

That set does come with the more correct doors as well a interiors with figures.

New doors on the right.

Excellent, thanks for the confirmation guys. I suppose the last question would be do the add-on cars for this particular set also have the corrected windows?

Its pretty safe to assume all the cars in this set match. The RPO does for sure and I would expect the Combine to match also. MTH redesigned the later cars so the doors fit into a slot in the floor rather than tracks mounted to the insides of the car side. Thats why the door with the rectangular windows is taller.

I used the later door to make copies for use in the earlier cars. Micro Mark has the materials to do this.

Pete

Thanks again Pete, and really good idea on retrofitting the new doors. BTW, which manufacturer's Hudson is that pulling the baggage car in your photo?

Nick the engine is an MTH item with PS2 and a PT tender. Its numbered for a J1c actually.

They did another later run with PT tender but numbered it 5344. That number has been taken already on my roster.

Pete

That's what I thought Pete. I actually opted to have 5344 represented in 3 of its 4 incarnations on my roster. Early (K-Line), Commodore Vanderbilt (Lionel 18063), and Late (modified Lionel 18056). The only one missing is when it was shrouded in the Dreyfus style for Mercury service; no one has made that one yet.
