Scott, David, and everyone else. I wasn't trying to complain or be negative about this process or Sunset in any way. To my knowledge the term "Sold Out" means like a rock concert at a 20,000 seat arena and every ticket is bought. In this case Scott or who ever the manufacturer happens to be takes pre orders to see if it is worth it to go ahead with production and based on those numbers they make the decision. I totally get that and I have no issue with it. I would never expect Scott or anyone else to go ahead with a project without the knowledge that there is enough interest for the project to be financially successful. Nowadays on high end pieces like this number manufactured is very close to the number of pre-orders so how could it be anything but a sell out? That's all I was saying. I didn't mean to sound negative. It is still successful and that's what is really important. I feel that O gauge manufacturers are in a tough spot since (by all accounts) the number of O Scale and O gauge enthusiasts is dwindling. It's very sad to hear that a few of the cancellations are because someone passed on. I'm very happy that Scott took over the business from his Dad to give us these wonderful models. I love my GGD passenger cars and I plan to someday (when I build a layout-hopefully next year) double head my E7 with the new E8 to pull those passenger cars.
