Can someone tell me what the difference is between these 2 sets of NYC passenger cars?
6-25713 and 6-15521
I already have the 2 car set 6-25718 and I am looking for something to go with it. I realize that the 6-15521 was made at an earlier time but is there anything else significantly different? IE color, lighting etc. I would purchase the 6-25713 but they don’t seem to be available . The 6-15521 is available on Ebay but before I make the purchase I want to be sure they will match.

The 25713 was has the green tinted windows that Lionel heavyweights had for awhile during that time, whereas the 15521 had clear windows. The 15521 has a slightly darker shade of Pullman green than the 25713 IMO.
With repairs, repaints, and different batches at the factory it was not unusual for a string of Pullman Green heavyweights to have different tones of color. Paint faded, faded at different speeds. Pullman Green cars on the T&P would change color differently than Pullman Green cars on the Monon. John in Lansing, ILL
