They are doing an eight car set in aluminum (perhaps two sets will be offered to cover all names?) plus the theater car as an add-on, as well as both water tenders. No pricing info yet. Should be amazing! Pics currently on the Sunset Models Facebook page but nothing yet on goldengatedepot.com.

I bet these are going to be absolutely gorgeous. I'm pretty happy with the die-cast tenders that Lionel has released, but I'll definitely pick up a complete excursion set.

Hi Jeramiah,
That's great news! I will be up for a complete set. I like the Lionel cars that i have acquired from cobbling together pieces from various years, but i would be the GGD version would have that extra quality and feature that was seen when they did the Southern Pacific sets for example.
I look forward to more details of timing and price, hoping these are not too far off in the future.

Talked to Scott yesterday at the March Meet, these cars are going to be fantastic. Thanked him from all of us who wanted these.
Can hardly wait for the order link…or delivery!
Some info available now on Third and Townsend Models O Scale Preorder page: https://www.thirdandtownsendmodels.com/oscalepreorder
I'll definitely be in for the two water cars and the 2066 power car. I've already got most of what I need from Lionel. I'm sure these will be considerably better but I'm trying to scale back my purchasing these days.
I’ll definitely be in for tenders and a power car. I’m waiting to see pricing to decide if I want any more cars. Well I might want them but what I want to spend money on 😅
So nice to see all these and passenger cars with ball bearings!
If I could, I'd buy the whole train... and a full set of SP for my Daylights..... and the NYC ones... and the chargers... 
great time to be in O scale. It will be exciting to see these.
