I am aware that the the orange of the f-3's doesn't quite match the passenger cars made to compliment the F-3's, and that Lionel made replacement shells for the engines to better match the cars. My question is this. Are the original shells a close match for the cars or is the difference really noticeable to the degree that most would find it unsatisfactory. I have some of the pass. cars but have only seen pictures of the actual engines. Any opinions and input would be greatly appreciated, Mike.
