I'm not sure if it's because of the bad reviews these cars got, but Sunset is selling these cars on eBay under another name. I wonder if sales are down.

I thought Sunset made brass. The Golden Gates are plastic aren't they? Are they selling them too?

Golden Gate is their plastic division, as far as I know. 3rd Rail is (was?) another division of Sunset. First time I had heard of anything connecting Sunset with eBay.

Please keep the posts coming. I bought the observation car not because I model SP, but because of the length. I model the GN and have a small layout. The layout has 18, 19 and 20 inch radius curves. My plan is to convert the car into a business car. I thought it would be a fun project. Far from prototypical but when you don't have a lot of space you have to get creative.

What else makes these cars totally wrong besides being too short?
