A few days ago, I picked up two of these Nutcracker coaches. These are the first of the Lionel General passenger cars with the clerestory roof. When I got them, they were fresh out of the set, and had silver painted archbar trucks. I had some wood beam trucks without couplers that I modified by mounting the stock archbar truck couplers to them.

Let me know what you think. I'll be making more changes to these cars, in time. Feel free to offer suggestions.

Are you planing on converting one of them to become the Lilly Belle Car. I wish they made more realistic models of Walts Trains also in O scale. That would be nice since I use O scale...
