Of the 50 Cincinnatian locomotives only about 5 were sold to folks who later purchased the 5 car Cincinnatian train set from Golden Gate. 

Didn't realize I was in such rarefied company...if you bought the loco you absolutely had to have the trainset.

 

Rex,

Now I know 3 of the 5 folks who purchased the locomotive and train from Sunset / Golden Gate. I believe the reason for this is that Sunset produced the locomotive before the train from GGD, therefor a lot of folks purchased the MTH train and the Sunset locomotive. Just a guess on my part. But the MTH train was nowhere near correct for the Cincinnatian. The only correct thing was the silver striping and lettering.

 

Guys, could one of you post some pics of the Sunset streamlined P7?  Forgive my ignorance, but I've never actually seen one and until you guys confirmed it on this thread, I always thought Scott cancelled that version of the P7.   I have the GGD Cincinnatian car set and love it, but had no idea there was an alternative to the Weaver model for the streamlined P7. 

Thanks!
