Here's MTH's announcement. The links take you to our website for your preorder at my discounted price. No payment is due - just select preorder at checkout. Thanks.

December 11, 2018 - On November 30th 2018, the 41st president of the United States, George H.W. Bush, took his last train ride in a special funeral train pulled by Union Pacific 4141 SD70ACe and accompanying 9096 SD70ACe to the his final resting place at the George H.W. Bush Library in College Station, Texas.

Since that funeral train rolled, the first such train since 1969, M.T.H. has received countless requests for the return of 4141 to the M.T.H. lineup.

Beginning in 2019, M.T.H. will release 4141 and 9096 locomotives in four different iterations: RailKing O Gauge; Premier O Scale; HO Scale; and an all-new RailKing One Gauge model.

In addition to the locomotives, a specially decorated baggage car - emulating the deco on the funeral car used in President Bush's train - will also be produced to complement the RailKing O Gauge and Premier O Scale locomotives.

Mr. Muffin, there is no link for the HO or Gauge 1 version. Does this indicate you will not be selling these items?

Thanks,

Steve

Mr Muffin,

Will the Flag baggage car have the Flagged draped casket in it also?

Baggage car must have the window with flagged draped casket. I believe Lionel had the casket in the Lincoln Funeral Train.

Fair enough.

Now let's see who is first to get a defect-free #4141 to the customer first.

I'll second that request. I have 4141, but would like 9096 in 2-rail form.

Per the item description, the Premier ones are 2-rail capable, just buy the kit and flip the switch. I'm pretty much sure most of their PS-3 diesels are that way now.

Just wish I wasn't unemployed, I'd get the RK 4141.

A 2-rail loco has fixed pilots, full length handrails, plus the 2-rail wheelsets already installed. The 3-rail version has shortened handrails and swinging pilots.

The Premier baggage car price in the MTH newsletter is crazy. As much as the loco.
