I'm feeling like there should be additional numbers...

Far better then nothing! They would probably work for steam locomotive tenders too.

For the novice who does not own an airbrush the green window band is a plus. I imagine though it would be tedious trimming all the windows out! The upside is two names the "Iron Horse Ramble" and "King Coal" were never to my knowledge printed before. The downside as mentioned earlier is by far the number groupings, but hey Microscale is keeping the Reading in mind so give them two thumbs up!

I could do without the stripes too. I wish they would have done the word Crusader for the modernization named car crusader. also I wish a few of the numbers were grouped like 1186 for the IHR car and a few 2000's numbers like 2060, lunch car & 2001,2002,coaches etc. But you are right Glad its reading & never printed names are appreciated. I will still buy some.

I too wish they would have done more numbers like the 2000 series coaches, the 2060 snack car, etc. Also why didn't they do the "Schuylkill". But at least they did do the King Coal
