My first delivery of Lionel's 21" Penn Central Manhattan Limited had plenty of factory errors. But intent on having this train and knowing that there are a higher percentage of good sets than bad, I sought out another set. Thanks to Jeff at CT Trains who inspected a set for me prior to my purchase! The set from CT Trains is excellent! And now, the PC Manhattan Limited rolls. I still think the only error is the green on the Observation car. But I commend Lionel on the accuracy of the rest of the set. The baggage car is nearly exact, as are the other cars. Im not a fan of the diner chatter on this set though. Lionel, thanks for going out on a limb and making sets like this!

Is quality control lacking these days from Lionel? Vision line GG1 seems to me to have a lot of problems and a lot of other items also.
I bought the Penn Central set, too and I am very happy with it. Of the cars I have purchased, the PC set is my favorite.
Who's making the diesels in PC ? Lionel? Is this a COMPLEATE set? With locos?
The E-8s are Lionel from a few years ago. Probably hard to find now. They screwed those up too. Got dyslexic with the numbers, 4325 became 4235, which is an E-7, not an E-8. One of these days I’ll get around to fixing that.
I am pulling my set with the Vision GG-1. Looks very cool.
