I don't know about the rest of you all, but the UP 4141 and the baggage car with George HW's coffin inside is calling my name. I already have the RailKing model of the 1943 along with some UP streamlined passenger cars and honestly, when is the next time we are going to see that pair offered (mainly the baggage car with the coffin) again? That's an iconic consist by itself for anyone looking to add a huge piece of recent American history to their roster, collection, and layout. I'm sure the 4141 will be offered here and there in the future, but I doubt anything related to the funeral train other than that will be out for a very long time since funeral train related items have so far only been done once (as far as I know) and/or become very pricey from the start being a niche item or a limited run product. This is so far the most affordable funeral train related item we have seen to date, plus they fit on just about any layout! Not only that, we may not get to see another funeral train again since it has been decades since President Eisenhower's passing, but that is just my take on that end of it.

There is a lot of interesting stuff in there!   Boy, MTH is sure going hog wild on those volt meter cars!   Wish I woulda known there was going to be a Pennsy version before I bought my Pittsburgh power car earlier this year!   I also love the expanded traditional Christmas offerings!  The big diesel & the plug-door boxcar set look great... but may be out of my budget, unfortunately.

Does anyone know if the 40' and 20' foot container sets fit RailKing husky stack cars?

Items 20-95378 and 20-95377.

The website says that they will fit premier flat cars. No mention about RailKing husky stack cars.

Thanks.

With the 20- product code, my guess is that they will not. MTH uses skinnier containers for its Railking cars.

Do you know who is taking preorders on the George Bush Engines?

 Thanks,
