The Train Name Board is not a removable piece - on this run. There
may be hope if there is a succeeding run for an Amtrak & Autotrain
decorated run. We can hope.
Don't forget that they can also do the follow on 10/6's (with MP
identical cars) and the MP also had Domes very similar to the CZ
cars. Once they get the Budd tooling done right, there's a lot they can do.
Personally, I'm hoping someone comes out with the fourth PZ car.
