dkdkrd posted:So, Scott... How come you wouldn't add the 'shorties' to the already announced...but not fully reserved/committed...full-sized ATSF Super Chief and B&O Capitol Limited??
It really stifles some of us...me... with strong interest in one or both of those announced trains and marginal layout dimensions to easily accommodate the 21" cars to think that we'd have to wait for their turn at a second round....if ever....to have a more appropriate length for our layouts.
If the Super and Capitol announcements are to measure the threshold interest, and the data packages for the design of both are within reach, why not offer the shortened versions too? Start clean, start even?
The sets that would be understandably 'too late' for shorter versions are the ones under design/tooling/construction contracts...the horses being out of the starting gate, so to speak.
Just curious....not critical. Sometimes our mortality-perspective kicks in and we wonder if the preferences will ever occur in our own lifetime.
BTW...I've reserved both in their present full scale configuration. But, I'd gladly wring my hands over another level of choice!
And, Scott.....You ARE the man! You and your team....no competition!

I agree about the Super Chief. I want the set in 18 but not MTH. I prefer shorter over longer super Chief. Not necessarily a money thing.
