Given the 2nd run of the Hiawatha, I'd like to gauge if there is enough common interest to have Scott possibly re-run the Budd Slumbercoaches.
B&O, CB&Q, NYC, MP, NP, AMTRAK we offered previously. I would be game for a few CB&Q, an Amtrak and an MP.

If you run MP consists, be aware a B&O Slumbercoach ran on the MP as a thru sleeper.

I'd be in for a B&O Slumbercoach.
I would add a B&O and NYC please.
I’d also definitely be in for CB&Q, maybe a couple.
would you be interested in budd cars amtrack 8868-8869-8870
Appears to be some interest in a 2nd run. Wonder if adding them to the B&O Capitol run would be possible?

Just an fyi, start budgeting. The latest Amtrak Amfleet and Viewliners are reportely being priced around $300.00/ car due to Aluminum bodies and the ball bearing wheels.

Well, I have to budget to afford Scott’s offerings. I’ve decided they are quite nice - and much better than other offerings. If my memory is correct, there was some disappointment (Belly-aching) that the Amfleet was to be done in plastic. So Scott switched to aluminum and got a boost in reservations. Yep. They are more expensive. Be careful what you wish for !!!

I have the Amtrak Phase I version from the first run.
I would be interested in a Phase III version in a second run if offered. I am looking to start my heritage fleet trains, especially with Amfleet cars finally in design and E60's in pre-order stage.
In my Amtrak world, the Southwest Limited got E8s and a Slumbercoach. The Slumbercoach is just rear of the K-line Single level diner for the sleeping car passengers. More fun to see the car in a consist!
Great looking cars. Thanks for the photos and video.
These are next to impossible to find in the secondary market.
