I can understand with Duck as he has a dome and safety valve as well as a funnel, and that can be confusing. Donald and Douglas' models actually DO have funnels, but the problem with them is that they're too far back making them look as they just have a dome and safety valve each (they don't have the latter).

A lot of people have an abundance of cargo cars, so this one is understandable too. The ironic thing now is that they don't include them in sets or destinations anymore. I only have four cargo cars, and I'd love to have as much as everyone else has.

Circles and figure 8's are a staple with wooden railway sets, but I agree that it can get boring after a while. You can spice them up by adding something new to them, but at the end of the day, it's just the same thing. They're good for your first set, but afterwards, you should buy a set with more to offer.

1. yeah that was a crappy blunder

2. yeah i only have two orange ones

3. yeah like the three sets i mentioned i still wanna get them through eBay at a reasonable price

Thay should have has their "funnels" closer to the smokeboxes.

I have a black one (came with cranky) a blue one (ebay) and two reddish-orange ones (goodwill and dustin set) I'd love to have a WHOLE rainbow of cargo cars. (did you know there's a second, different design of them?)

I hope you can find them.
