Sunset/3rd Rail B&O Cincinnatian

It was the Weaver model on display. 3rd Rail is doing the engine and the cars.

That was a beautiful engine for sure - Weaver did a great job. Scott indicated theirs would feature the same finish (beautiful blue gloss) and obviously many tech improvements as the Weaver dates back to roughly 1992-93. Should be nice.

John,

Thanks for the information-I guess my bill from 3rd Rail will be going up!!

FYI: The P7d we displayed was a Weaver model that belonged to Al Cunard (HI RAIL TRAINS) in hopes to promote it. After 1 day of showing it,  I was convinced as many B&O Fans showed interest in buying the P7d along with the Cincinnatian cars. To my surprise, only a few owners of the originally produced P7d ordered the Cincinnatian cars. There were no prototypical cars made for that engine in the 1990s. So if you have the Weaver P7D somewhere in your basement or storage, dust it off and order the cars....

The Cincinnatian car quantities will be frozen once the factory asks for a breakdown of 2R/3R for purchasing parts. This will occur in December. Production will commence in January.

The P7D production is limited to 50 units, because it was considered as an add on production to the P7E, already delivered. Only 50 units guys. 40 3R, 10 2R. That's it.

Scott,

 Thanks for the updated information.  Just ordered the Cincinnatian engine on your website to go with the 5 car passenger set I already have on order.

This is great news!  I spnet several days modifying my Weaver Cincinnatian to look as if it was actually built by 3rd Rail.  Now I can get the real deal as I still had some corrections to make and was going to install ERR TMCC.  I think I'll put that on hold.  Thanks Scott!

I ordered the P7d; always like the model made Weaver a number of years ago.

I will used it to double head with the Train of Tomorrow ( I know, not prototypical).
