RailRide posted:texastrain posted:Railride, I have the Golden Outlook Vista Dome, and the additional 8, for a total of 9 cars in my Golden State consist. My Golden Outlook Vista has the catalog number of K4632-2984. Yes, I was a member of the KCC and acquired my set through the membership. Mine also has the same car number of 2984. For motive power I purchased the Rock Island E8s A-A with TMCC/RS, and although semi-scale, the S.P Pacific with Vanderbilt tender, K3388-2488IC.
Thanks to all for the interesting topic and information.

I also was in the KCC, and acquired the bulk of my set that way. Some cars I got through the "member store" at their Toy Fair open house. That's how I found out about the second dome--but they were already sold out by then. Since that point, I've only come across the Golden Outlook once on Ebay soon after, and bailed out of the auction when the bids exceeded $100 (the GS cars were going for about $60-ish at the time). I have the E8 locos, but passed on the SP steamer and express boxcar.
So figuring that I my never get my hands on the dome in question, I elected to add a trio of MTH Golden Rocket cars (I think they were unboxed production samples, which is why there were just three) to my consist.

There are actually three dome cars if you count the factory error. I would have to get mine out of storage to get the details, but there were a few domes that were mis-marked and had the number of the set dome, and the name of the add-on dome. This car is really rare but it is not expensive. Unfortunately, the Golden State had no domes so I'm not sure I'll run my domes.
