I was wondering if anyone discussed the upcoming Super Chief set with anyone from Sunset/3rd Rail/GGD? Are there any details available?

Thanks Mike, I read the flyer yesterday. Last year after O Scale West, there were rumors that this was going to happen. I was curious if anything was mentioned at the recent O Scale West.
The brochure didn't mention which cars would be included with regard to the prototype. Pullman Standard, Budd, and ACF all had cars that made up the Super Chief consist at one point or another along with the numbers for the cars. There is also a question as to how the train will be finished to attain the stainless appearance. Will there be more than one consist with regard to numbering. Those are the kinds of questions for which I'm looking to get answers. Sometimes they can be found here.
price range?

A little pricey, but I'm thinking about it. I was thinking Atlas would have been able to step up passenger car production by now and move forward from the Cal Zeph into other roads, like one of the CNW 400's or the ATSF Super Chief.
I am not holding my breath with regards to Atlas...sadly they appear to be a sinking ship at this point in the O Scale world.
