Reply to "The Blue Comet Turns 90"

One would be hard pressed to come up with a train/locomotive that has endured more indignity in model offerings than the Blue Comet, from pre-War Standard Gauge versions to today's offerings.  No idea why this is, but it is so.  Would love to see an accurate model of this fine train produced in 2R O-Scale, but not holding my breath.  Closest approach for today's O-Scaler would be the 2 rail MTH engine with Walthers repainted passenger cars, although the dining car still represents a challenge.  The train never had an RPO or a Pullman, despite model offerings.
