@Jtrain posted:Actually, this happened with the GGD 1955 Great Northern Empire Builder. GGD made some cars from the 1947-1951 Empire Builder and some cars from the 1955 Empire Builder. I don't know why. The cars that were made were correct individually, but were never used on the same prototype train at the same time, so a complete train was not offered for the 1955 Empire Builder, even though it was marketed as such by GGD. These issues were pointed out in this forum at the time of the offering, but they were not fixed. I ended up piecing together some fairly accurate K-Line scale cars and an MTH baggage car with the GGD cars that are correct for the 1955 Empire Builder (even though some of the names and numbers of the GGD cars are not correct for 1955) to fill in for the missing GGD cars and get a fairly complete 1955 Empire Builder train (the color matches are close enough for me).
That said, I hope that everyone gets what they want out of this set, within reason. It seems to me that this set will have quite a bit of interest, and should probably be moved ahead of other offerings in the project schedule.
Regardless of what they do, we'll like the cars. The easier it is to model the complete train, the better. I saw the emal with the indication the transition car will be produced. Hope he does the baggage car as well:-)
