Brother Nick and I have been talking about how much we like the Golden Gate Depot passenger cars, but we don't have any sort of reference for what has been made so far..... Any chance you guys could look at your collections and see what cars you have?  I will work at creating a consolidated list of what's been made. Thanks.

 

To start, we have:

 

Passenger car sets, with 4 cars each, in:

 

NYC - Mercury

Erie

Lehigh Valley - John Wilkes

Milwaukee

Erie in 2-tone green

Lackawanna

 

Headend Car sets in:

 

C and O

New Haven

Erie

Lackawanna

Milwaukee

 

Observation/Diner Set in:

 

Erie

Lackawanna

New Haven

Pullman

 

8-1-2 Sleepers in Pullman

 

Three 4 car sets in NYC 1938 Dreyfus

 

A 6 car and then a 2 car set in NYC ESE

There were at least 16 different car numbers of PRR P70 coaches.  There was also a PRR head end set with 70-foot baggage car, a baggage/mail car and a combine.  There were at least 2 of these sets with different car numbers.  There were also multiple car numbers (4, I think) of Pullman (lettered for PRR) 12/1 sleepers and 8/1/2 sleepers.

 

Charlie, wasn't there also a Congressional Limited set?

So are you saying these have been cancelled?  I know some of the single-sale NP (NCL) coaches and sleepers have been delivered, but not the 4-car finish set (which I thought was now slated for 2014).

 

I can't imagine GGD / 3rd Rail NOT following through with the NP (NCL) finish set, as it would make purchase of prior NP cars pretty much meaningless.  And if that were even close to being the case, I'd never purchase a 3rd Rail product again.  Wouldn't even give them a second glance... as in completely off my radar screen.

I was just about to say, I wonder if Scott is able to release a master archive list of products offered by the company. The famous name sets like the the 20th Century Limited and Daylight are easy to keep track of but trying to find info on all the more obscure piece-meal sets they've produced over the years is an absolute pain...
