Unfortunately, 18" is still too large for those of us who would love to be able to run scale equipment but simply don't have the available space for a large layout and who would still like to own show-quality pieces.
18" is not much different than 15-16" postwar style cars.
I can't see GGD diving into the flooded 15-16" passenger car market. There's a Darth of 18" streamliners at the moment. Heavyweight sets are pretty entrenched with Lionel and MTH along with some leftover K-Line.
It would be nice if GGD redid the PRR P54 sets along with the MP54' as well. They are prototypically short and with serve both the scale market along with the Traditional Market that loves scale equipment!
The 18" cars I have from MTH and Lionel do 036 just fine. These might be able to.

I second that request. I'd purchase the Cal Zephyr in a heartbeat if, and when, it's offered.
I third this. Scott, please do it!
