Thank you,

Thanks Scott. Love to see pix of final product. Really nice As Usual !!!!  That should snag some Lucky fence sitters !!!

They look marvelous Scott

Thank you

Scott and all those involved in this project. Thank you!

I've bought all the Super Chief Sets GGD has made over the years. GGD has always improved on the product. This one is no exception. I received it today, haven't looked at everything, but it looks to be extremely well done.

The nice thing for me is that I have trimmed my collection and decided to model the era of this train. I'm thrilled you chose to produce this Super Chief set. All the SF diesels I have fit in this era. I now finally have the cars to run behind the diesels.

Please excuse the photo, I just started a new layout. The cars deserve to be displayed in a better setting.

Thanks again Scott. I'm thrilled!

I have to say I LOVE THOSE UNIQUE "NAPOLEON HAT" sprung trucks! I can't wait for my Pullman 4-4-2 sleeper [ that ran on the Broadway Limited] to be delivered!

Thank you,

Hopefully you will post some pics of the GP 7/9 models as well as the upcoming AMTRAK Amfleet/viewliner cars too!

P.s. I hope that you announce Amtrak Superliners [original] as well! [Lionel.and MTH are more Superliner II cars]

The prewar PS diaphragms without the wings are especially nice. Super job Scott

I should get my set in a couple of weeks. I plan on painting the trucks and undercarriage details with flat aluminum.... as well as the PULLMAN car roofs. Excited to run it behind my key e1 and e6

Fabulous set!  I ordered all the extra cars as well.   Incredible realism for O scale and the floor plans are modeled down to the crew quarters and bars in the two lounge cars.   Can't wait to run them behind the 3rd Rail E-1 and my Lionel E-6s.  

Got my set today. It looks great. One of the benefits from pushing a stainless steel look on the E5 is that after that, (The Rocket and this Super Chief) the finish remains outstanding. Second only to nickel silver plating. Thanks, Scott!

As you can see, the set does come with steps for the dining car and observation car. I was a little worried. Superb!

Set looks very nice as expected. Did the diaphragms come painted silver or did you already paint them?

They came painted, Charlie.

They look nice and the reason I asked is because one of my Covid projects was to paint mine from an earlier run. Not a hard job, but time consuming. Having them painted from the factory would be a welcome addition. Yours look nice.

So... what will Santiago upgrade on these? Will be following your work as usual.
