Any photos out there of the Red Comet cars that Lionel Corp just released to go with the Red 400e?

I just got mine yesterday, but will probably not be able to get it out and run it until next week. I looked at the baggage car (as I never had one of the Blue Comet baggage cars that came out a few years ago, and there never was an original one).
The fit and finish is excellent-it looks more like glass than painted metal.
I hope to look at the engine later today.
I ran the engine yesterday.
It was interesting taking it out of the box. It was wrapped in plastic, like usual, but inside the plastic was a soft cloth (might have been microfiber, I am not sure).
The finish was flawless.
I lubed it, then ran it around my small loop of track for about 10 minutes. It is the PS-3 version so I had to reset the chuff rate to 4 per revolution. It ran flawlessly, pulling 8 coal train hoppers and a caboose.
I have not checked out any of the other four passenger cars yet.
I intend to give it a good workout at Cal Stewart in November.
RAK,
How about taking a picture of the cars and post them for us to see.
