I'm not sure that I do agree. None of the cars currently available looks anything like a historic passenger car - all of them have awkward proportions. Using the rider cars might draw more fans if done just once or twice - afterall, all of them are phradulant, but the rider cars have had less exposure in recent years. Because of their design and color, they would be less obvious at the end of the train, and they weigh a lot less. But then, of course, there is the comfort factor, where they come in low ...
