I have some of these cars and like the full-length and low price, but I have some concerns about whether they represent correct prototypes. In particular, both the RPO and baggage are a full 80' length (the same as the other cars). And the windows on the combine, coach and diner seem slightly smaller than the prototype. Were any prototype baggage and RPOs full-length and did any prototype cars have the slightly smaller windows? Thanks.

It's been a few days and no replies so IMO, the IHCs are probably not prototypical.

As a comparison here's a Budd passenger site
that perhaps can answer some of your questions.
