I wish Sunset would remake SAL Silver Meteor

Dear Andy,

Dave Vaughn sold me the entire set with the SAL mint green E units at the 2920 Chicago show.

I remember it well going by Tacony(NE Philly) area pulled by a GG-1.

Good luck on your hunt !!!

Andy, as John says, make it known what you are searching for because you never know when Lady Luck will smile on you.  I found set of cars I never thought I would see just by saying: I'm looking for......

Good Luck!

Reruns are always possible, but this one hasn't been discussed.  Not to say that it won't be, but the que is a little full for the next couple of years on passenger trains. 

I would love a set in Amtrak personally. 

No one ever made SCL's that I requested, I had to do my own.

The most popular and common historical routes from N.Y.C. to Fl. and no one offers them. Still waiting for an MTH F unit to pull them. Clueless marketers.

The Silver Meteor is FAR from my collecting area of interest …… But …….. I love historical items or unusual / unique items. I would Love to have a Sun lounge !!!!!!! 😜Such a Beautiful Car !!!! 👍👍👍
Cheers !!! 😉

One in SCL would be make sense as well on a rerun.  The Silver Meteor, Silver Star, the Silver Comet, or even the Tidewater might make for some interesting options too.

Athearn has a nice rendition of the Yellow Kid in HO scale.  Some days I wonder why I left HO.  However, I'd love a late era D16sb personally!

Pulling a Seaboard streamliner with a D16 might downgrade the service to a Copper Meteor or maybe even and Aluminum Meteor though ....

And Westerfield made a full train in kit form in resin, which really demonstrates is that the prototype information to make this train accurately readily exists.

No interest in a late D16sb.  Might though be interested in a D16b or a D16d though

A de-skirted version in SCL and Amtrak would be really neat.  I could go for that with some new runs of E units.

I too would be in for an Amtrak deskirted set!

In the meantime, I only have the PRR car....

I'm totally in for a whole set.  Literally top of my wish list.  Have asked for it several times but I'm sure it will be many years before it's run again (if ever) as it was a fairly recent set -- right before I really found GGD unfortunately.  So I too am looking on the secondary market, but with only 75 total sets made, it's really, really hard to find.

75 sets really is a small run. I’m surprised so few bought this set !!!! (You never know with these sets.)  And the base set was only 6 cars which made it a bit more affordable. The Silver Meteor ran in lots of east coast states with high population areas. That usually helps get needed reservations. Perhaps interest will grow but it’s a 2019 set - not that long ago. I think a run 2 could be a difficult task for now. However, Scott’s reputation / brand is growing a following so Keep Pushing to see it again.  More people are discovering Scott’s product.   It’s all about getting sufficient #s to get it to fly.
Cheers 😉

Wrong forum I guess. IMHO the SM was last great east coast train of it's era. (an ICON). Don't recall how many occasions that I went with friends and relatives as they boarded the SM in CAE for an overnight layover football  (Gator Bowl) party in JAX and then onto MIAMI (Orange bowl) the next day for more parties and football.  For some unknown reason I was not invited. Reason for this post, one of my great trains of the late 40's and early 50's.            Tommy
