I'm with Larry Neal...Southeast.
I must confess that the Seaboard Silver Meteor looked as good running behind the elegant E units as they did when the Pennsylvania forwarded the train to/from New York City with the legendary GG1. Oh yes, don't forget to add RF&P to the list as well!
Depending on the train, do not forget the run through cars. The CZ did have PRR run throughs at Chicago, and the TX EAGLE from PRR at St. Louis.
I actually forgot about the shorter cars. Thanks for reposting this. I suspect there are more than a few people who either forgot or did not know about this possible option.

Charlie,
I was wondering about these for awhile but I didn't realize it has been so long since the GGD 0-42 announcement.
Hopefully this "bump" can get more people interested in the offered sets and possibly get Scott to make 0-42 Budd Slumber coaches.

Folks,
The 3 rerun Aluminum trains are a go. Including the 042 style shorter cars.
In order of reservations:
1948 20th Century
SP Daylight + 3/4 Dome to be announced. Ooops I just announced it.
1948 Broadway Ltd.
Should be done with all 3 + Hiawatha Short 2nd Run by the end of 2021.
The C&O L1 Hudson and Chessie Cars should also be in this time period.

How about a Broadway Sleeper “Extra” 4 pack - one each of those listed ? I ask as I have a Broadway run 1 “A” set of “core” consist/cars - no sleepers. I’d love to add to my gorgeous run 1 consist. A lone 4-4-2 just doesn’t cut it !!!!!
ANYONE else out there for this ?????? Email Scott !!!!!
oh !!!! And THANKS for adding the SP 3/4 Dome !!!! Several versions possible too !!!!!!
more - hope these three ARE SPREAD OUT - not all at once. Help us here !!!!
Cheers 🤗

Whatever makes you money and margin works for me. As for the angst of the scale modelers, with the number of major train companies about to be cut by a third, anything that supplements the top of the line is a good thing. I don't think that it will ever be your intention to be a new K-Line or Railking.
Yes to the 18 inch NYC set and extras! Woohooo!!!!
How about a 1938 Broadway Limited next? Including a rerun of the 21" cars from several years ago?
Redo the full length congressional and Powhatan Arrow those sets you just can’t find
Hmm, I just got new E7's and I don't have a 48 20th Century Limited consist. 18inchers are what I run on my layout. I have the minimum radius for the scale stuff but my layout is just too small, a full train of those turns my named passenger's into tail-chasers.
This will be a great product line!
SP fans would be as happy as a lark with THE LARK.

Me too. I’m missed it - prob had $ committed to a different offering. These second chance offerings are great but 8 car sets get expensive and storage becomes a problem for those of us without basements.
I’d also be interested in the “Golden State”. I bet it could attract some Rock Island “Fans” too.

Yes! And the postwar version this time, with "SOUTHERN PACIFIC" lettering!
Scott, will the new SP cars match the paint on the prior original version?
Scott, any chance of a New Haven train such as the Merchants Limited. The New Haven may not have the swagger of say the Super Chief or 20th Century Limited. But there is no shortage of New Haven O gauge Passenger power in both Electric and Steam that have been produced over the years. Weaver and Atlas have had a few runs of the Bradley cars. The K-Line cars demand high prices. I’m sure a unique correct New Haven consist would be a seller. I purchased 2 of your PA’s. I need something for them to pull.
How about a city of SF or LA —

I wondered about that too and although I haven’t asked Scott, in my experience he’s been very careful about SP colors in a way that the major 3rail suppliers simply haven’t been. I’d expect the new cars to be a good match as well as prototypical. It matters to me as I have some cars from the original run that I want to match.
BTW, I notice that every time Scott makes an announcement of a new offering, there’s literally a flood of other different product requests/suggestions. Nothing wrong with that as it reflects a healthy level of enthusiasm BUT what about him adding an SP 3/4 length dome car to this run, as announced above? That’s a truly distinctive SP-built prototype that’s never been made, as far as I know, by either Lionel or MTH - or by anybody else bar once ages ago. I’m definitely on board for that car.
There’s a good write up on these cars, inside and out, here: https://streamlinermemories.info/?p=1392

This SP dome will be a Very Nice option. I think Scott will probably offer at least the three SP versions - Daylight, UP yellow, and Silver with a red stripe, and perhaps a fourth - an Amtrak version (I haven’t looked for picture). There are two other recent rebirths- KCS/Panama RR and CP that are possible if Scott gets requests.
If they are done in brass like The Milwaukee Road ones - they will be expensive.
Color matches - especially after years gone by are Always tough. I’m sure it’ll be really close. I sweat this too as I have Daylight run 1 regular 5 car set and a 2 car articulated that I want to add to with the new 3 car articulated diner.
Have been following this discussion with keen interest. Having both 18" or 21" aluminum passenger cars available to the consumer is a great idea and Scott is to be commended for coming up with the idea and bringing it to the marketplace. Smart move! I know a lot of O scale train operators are very pleased with his announcement. While not currently interested in GGD passenger cars in particular I am specifically interested in purchasing a 3rd Rail 2rail ATSF big dome passenger car. Very few of these unique passenger cars were made but due to my finances I was unable to purchase one at the time - big mistake on my part. Since then I haven't been able to locate one anywhere on the secondary market. Even considered converting a 3rail version if I found one but eventually gave up on the idea. So please Scott consider making them available again sometime in the not-to-distant future. Please!
