Since you are on the inside. What I want to know before I add any more extra add on cars to my order are the cars names (especially the 14-4's) that are in the 8 cars set and what are the extra cars names being made. This is mainly directed at the MKT set as the 14-4's had names mainly referencing the defenders of The Alamo or associated battles. The MKT 14-4's were 1500 James W. Fannin, 1501 Mirabeau B. Lamar, 1502 William B. Travis, 1503 David Crockett, 1504 James Bowie, 1505 James B. Bonham, 1506 Amon B. King. I would also be interested in the Frisco 14-4's and Coaches as I am ordering some to mix into the MKT set. I also ordered the Meteor set to run behind my Frisco E7. Like your two Texas Special Frisco's above, I ordered and received the two MKT Texas Special engines. Love them

Hi Joe,
I’ve lived most of my life in either Texas or Missouri so I’m very familiar with the people and place names in the offering. What I can say is Almost Every car name was submitted to be used. Names used in the sets will not be used as extras.
The Texas Special MKT cars are Very Texas-centric. Only the coaches have a couple of OK cities from the route.
The Tx. Sp. Frisco cars are ALL Missouri-centric.
The Frisco Meteor is Very Missouri-centric, the exceptions being the observation car and the 14-4 River cars that evenly split names between Missouri and Oklahoma rivers.
Understand - Scott makes All the final car name decisions. I believe all the extra car names are Really Great. (IMHO of course). This offering of these 3 consists will be the most Prototypical ever done.
Cheers 😉
