The troop sleeper has an REA vented version coming also.  Brass sides,
resin roof/ends/floor, ECW Allied Full Cushion trucks, seperate brake set. 
 As long as you're careful cleaning up the roof and ends it builds up nice.
 The NYC car is the one out now; it's about $45...   side by side with the
Cannonball Car Shops kit, it looks a lot better to me.
