@Jtrain posted:I understand those concerns, but the only other scale lightweight Southern cars in O scale that I am aware of are the Lionel cars. But they are plastic, generic cars, and they have black roofs, so are 1970's specific, apparently. I have a nice set of K-Line aluminum 21" cars modified and re-lettered for Southern, so they are somewhat correct. But it would be nice to have some very accurate cars. Also, I think that a lot of people want complete train sets. So, I think this is a good idea for GGD. I hope they get made.
Yep, I was very disappointed when Lionel took their NYC Empire State Express and slapped a few other roads on the same tooling, including Southern. Then the next catalog they made a bunch of new 21" car tooling for PRR, Conrail, and some others. Oh well, that opens the gap to get this train made by Scott, if it all works out in the end.
