Since these are 1937 (Super Chief), 1938 (Broadway) and 1939 (20th Century) I'll most likely be passing on them - just a bit too early for my era. The price is not an issue as I know GGD makes accurate quality products - it's justifying the cost for how these sets would fit my layout's era/location. I do understand Scott going with what has been the best sellers for GGD in O scale to better gauge the S market with this initial offering. Still may order a Super Chief or post-war Broadway - I'm sure I have at least a few months to think it over before the reservation period ends.
It's not like these cars disappeared when the clock read 1950. Many if not all remained in service up to Amtrak.
The Acoma still exists as Private Varnish and the Navaho resides at the Colorado Railroad Museum.
A New York Central observation also still exists as a PV:
There's even a Pennsy round end observation still living in squalor (Altoona, I believe) awaiting restoration:
Rusty
