GGD UP Heritage Fleet announced - with tenders!

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.

The 3-D printed posts were edited out of this thread.  They belong in the 3-D category.

There will be two different sets available and off course offerings for various add-on cars, but that is still to be determined.  It should be a very exciting set.  Still a lot of planning to do though!

Jonathan, I sure would like to see a 1950’s U P set to accompany the yet to be made Sunset Erie built diesels. The UP cars could also be a big part of a 1970’s AUTO- TRAIN.

I don't think Scott would do this but it wouldn't hurt to ask here, and ask you too, I did see some of the preliminary ad on cars that was potentially going to be offered. Would it be possible to make all the cars add-ons just in case you want to buy one of the sets and add on more than what has been preliminarily announced? I would like to get a set and cars from another, without reserving 2 sets and selling off the majority of the 2nd set.
