Cool to see MTL do another N&W "passenger" car, though the body chosen for the N&W safety car (#402) is odd (diner?).

The real car (originally a Baggage Express car built by Pressed Steel in 1913) has very few windows and pretty much has a vestibule:

Ooooo, I'm also strongly tempted by the overnight cars...and the SP police cabooses...and the SP covered hopper (just not so tempted with the $45 price tag for an N scale car). Having more rolling stock than I will ever use, I've been restricting my rolling stock purchases, but it looks like it might be an expensive month.

IC is not Illinois Terminal  :facepalm:

https://www.micro-trains.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=63_64&product_id=4951l

Not sure where you are getting IC.  The car is marked IT, the header is IT, the Micro News said IT....

If I'm missing something....

Yep. It's been fixed. But let's give MTL credit for actually fixing it.  But keep your eyes peeled in case they mislabeled the first 10 off the assembly line, because you'll be able to pay for your kids college with one of those.

Eh, with the cost of college nowadays, and the fact that MT collectors are dying breed, maybe just for one semester.   :D
