<div class="Section1">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black;">I received the
Division Point M1 RPO cars today.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black;">The car itself
looks fantastic! The diaphragms are very well executed, maybe one the best
produced yet!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black;">The details on
the car are very well done and crisp. The window treatment are excellent with blinds(?)
which helps hide the empty interior.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black;">There are no
lights in the car, but could be added if one prefers. I will leave my as is for
now.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black;">The color, well
let me say it’s some type of maroon, red, pinkish color that doesn’t
come close to the Overland, Key, Rail Classic, AHM/Rivarossi cars, which are
pretty much all the same.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black;">The red looks
like the Bachman red which is way far off, that there is no words to describe.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black;">The roofs are charcoal,
gray/brown or something I can’t describe but definitely not black. I
compared the roofs to the N&W cabooses Division Point produced if they were
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black;">trying to do
brown roofs, and they are no match.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black;">The roof color doesn’t
match any N&W models ever produced that I’ve seen.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black;">The under body and
end are black and is very good and detailed.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black;">Division Point
has a reputation of screwing up the paint schemes, like the N&W Blue(?)
caboose and VGN caboose red.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black;">I am looking forward
to the next car, but sure hope they correct the paint. I personally will
call Ken or Jack at DP to let them know.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black;">I give the car a
10, but the paint a 6.</span></p>

Class BEj Baggage Car (Nos. 110-124) I would recommend waiting for Division

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; color: black;">The Rail Classic N&W BEj is a very poor rendition of the
car so I dumped my after realizing all the problems. The Division Point car
should sell around the same price of $396 as the M1 RPO.</span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";"></span></p>
