I wish Scott would offer the Lunch car and Business / Observation car separately. I spent a small fortune on the brass cars he produced earlier and do not need the baggage, rpo, or the coaches.
Folks: Thanks for all your feedback and enthusiasm.
I am sure Dealers will be willing to break up sets to sell individual cars. This is their opportunity to step forward and take orders. 
To make these cars economically feasible we have to make them in sets and all at once.
Enjoy your hobby.
Too bad the PRR didn't have such similar looking short cars. These sets would look great as a polar express set!
Hi Scott,
Would you be able to list the color schemes for the northeastern and midwestern roads?
Any chance other road names will be added? I've got some (B&M, CN) that I collect that it's difficult enough to find anything, prototypical or not, that I wouldn't mind updating...
No Western Pacific? I thought I'd finally have something for my GS-64 to pull.

I checked some of my books and the WP didn't have any 60 foot coaches. I like the roof contours of the Harriman cars but the length is not right for the WP. I use a Weaver 60 foot baggage car with some MTH 70 foot Pullman heavyweights for my short
Exposition Flyer. GS6, EX FEC Mountains, Mikados, all look good at the front.

I remember the SVC board.
GGD has given UP steam fans exactly what we wanted with these cars. Long overdue, and I'm so excited to see these arrive.
The response has been overwhelmingly good. We are adding SP Lines to the list of lettering options, and going into production later this year. Thanks again for your reservations and vote of confidence.

Scott,
Would you consider adding the L&N to the list of options? There doesn't seem to be much on the market as it relates to L&N Passenger Cars, and the L&N ran Harriman Coaches.
Scott, how many add on coaches do you plan for each roadname. If I were to order say three add on cars would they have different names or numbers?

1 Rock set, 1 IC and 1 CB&Q (just because!) These are awesome looking!
Scott,
Could use an Southern Pacific Lines Baggage in case you have a dealer breaking up sets.
Two comments. First, Scott, I hope you also consider adding the Grand Canyon Railway to your list of road names. Until recently, ex commuter Harrimans were the standard cars that the GCR ran from Williams to the Grand Canyon. A few years ago Weaver made one of their 2-8-0's in the GCR livery which would make a really neat train.
Second, there may be confusion on where the 60 foot cars ran as the SP also ran standard 80 foot Harrimans in their long distance trains. The obvious difference is that the long distance cars had six wheel trucks while the commuter cars, as these new ones, used four wheel trucks. And Sunset did run the 80 foot cars several years ago, but in brass (I have a set and they are also beautiful!)

Check the website. These cars are available for individual order.

Lima,
That recently changed. You can reserve individual cars other than coaches now. Scott's post about individual cars not being available was dated March 3rd.
Feedback from potential customers caused the change.
reserved my cars today, finally can buy quality cars from scott to run on my small layout. thank you scott.
I have to tell you they are really nice and the price is not bad as well. 
What curves do the cars run on?
I'm excited too. A few of us were some of the first reservations received.
I may order a second set.
If there's any update from the Chicago O Scale Show this weekend please post here.

Original flyer stated 3R O-42, 2R R36.

Thank you. You think they could run on 0-36 curves?

I couldn't answer. That's why I'm asking for teasers. They are a new product, haven't been manufactured yet.
I can only speculate like any other scale passenger car, even at 17", they will require every bit of what GGD recommends and likely wouldn't look right on anything less even if they could.
Photos yet? Let me whet your appetite - a Harriman coach with six wheel trucks:

I will be going to China for our E89 production and I am told we will have samples of each of the 5 types of Harriman cars painted and lettered for your enjoyment, I mean your review.
Look for these to arrive in June or July.

Scott,
Please check that the Reading Railroad cars are lettered "Reading Company". The depicted artwork on the website shows it as "Reading". I am not aware of any Reading cars lettered that way.
Much Appreciation!
Now that I think about it, I bet stripping the UP set of its paint would make a real kick A** set of Polar Express cars!
Would like to see this WP car done correctly in the future.. and maybe the addition of 70' smoker coaches...

Confirmed: "READING COMPANY" on all Reading lettered cars.
We will have some pictures of pre-production models soon, perhaps by late April.

To get the cars close together for 2R and 3R we had to restrict the radius capability of 054 3 Rail track, switches and turnouts and 48" 2R Radius track. This was determined only a few days ago. 042 is such a small curve we don't have any engines that run on 042 either...
The limiting factor is actually the coach steps. The 3 Rail couplers have to swing and they hit the back of these steps any tighter than 054.
Scott Mann
Scott/Norton and all SP fans, this would be perfect. Don

I had reserved a set because they would run on O-42. Guess I am out of luck with my order and atlas O-45 curves.
Getting close. Any sneak peaks?
Scott
Tried to reserve these in Erie which the website says is available but it isnt one of the options in the reservation form
WITZ 41 posted:Getting close. Any sneak peaks?
I'm ready to see them also!
Time frame to our door?
Production is to be finished end of July, arriving In August.
