My two Chessie and single Cargill cars arrived today, pretty much what you'd expect from TWX, very well made cars. They do come packaged a little differently than previous TWX cars I've bought were. Same jewel case, same nest, but the jewel case was wrapped in plastic and the car itself was wrapped in plastic that has a light adhesive on it; the car doesn't just slide out of the plastic, you need to pull the plastic apart at the seam to release the car and the adhesive (think of postit note sticky) is on the entirety of the inside of the plastic, contacting the car.

Not sure if it's good or bad, but it is different from previous releases.

The only thing that frustrates me about Trainworx is they list a road name and product number and -1 through -12 but don't tell you that there are 6 paint scheme variations mixed in there..

What's worse, I noticed on the Trainworx site that there were two cars lettered for Route Rock and some had the black under "ROCK".
When I seen them listed on MBK, all six cars were the same image lettered "THE ROCK".

I emailed Pat and asked if there was a mixup and he replied "Not a mix up, all six cars are different".
That's when I noticed the differences other than the lettered "THE" & "ROUTE".

There's similar variation with the Chessie cars, of the two I have one has a small rectangular safety slogan on it, one does not.
