At the 3rd Rail booth, the GM ToT was on display. It is awesome and they nailed the blue color. In person, the blue is substantially darker than the color that appeared in the recent video Scott Mann posted. This set is an absolute "home run".
Those that ordered this set will be very HAPPY!!!!!!

Great! Glad to hear it. That sounds perfect to me.
Great news for all who ordered this fantastic set.
In general, I love the tid bits of info that appear from York. For a guy who can't go and has never been to York, it sounds like Santa's Workshop!

Oh, thank you!! I can't wait to get mine! I am so happy i ordered it.
Thank you! Although I could kinda tell the lighting was to blame in Scott's video, I'm glad to know I can get lost in that blue.
C'mon delivery date!

I really liked this train but was not sure of the overall color or design. A color photograph would be very nice!

Now I'm really curious about the color, because on my screen the blue already looked quite dark. Is it a bit like the Columbian blue of the B&O.
My automobile looks black in the LED lighted garage, but metallic blue in the sunlight. So, of course, lighting is everything.
And what did you think about the interiors.

I'm also interested in the interiors and I trust someone is going to post a few photos.

I want to be happy TODAY and see a few photos!!!
The paint for the exterior of the ToT was a blue-green DuPont Dulux enamel. I saw the train at the 3rd Rail/GGD booth, and I believe the color of the model looked blue with some green. I'm not sure if any photos taken under the Orange Hall lighting will show this very well. Besides, any photos taken of the train at York and posted here will like get more complaints than praise.

As promised, here are the photos taken from the 3rd Rail Booth of the ToT.
Did you get your order in for it while you were there? 
Wow , That is one of the nicest Trains I have seen in a while. I hope everybody who ordered this is happy.
That...is...AWESOME

If only the passenger cars were 18 inches! 
It was a great-looking set. I'm sure everyone who ordered one will be very pleased.

Scott looked pretty pleased with it at the OGR Grandstand event. I'll bet that whole set will take a bite out of your wallet!
Brian - Wow! That is one beautiful train!
Art
I saw it in person at York. What a beautiful train set!!!!!
So one will get an E-7 A unit and 4 passenger cars. All the passenger cars are domes! Full interiors with a passenger load. One beautiful paint scheme with added on stainless steel fluting.
What ever railroad that one models this train set will fit right in as a GM Demonstrator running as an extra over it showing the world its new, modern features.
The price is right!!!! I am amazed at the price for what one gets. I really was impressed with the truck side frames on both the E-7 and the passenger cars.
If you're on the fence about this train set, please do yourself a favor and reserve one for yourself. You will not be disappointed.

Cant wait to see the UP version its gonna be stupendous!!!!! Not too large a wallet bite considering 4 domes and an E7 A, I could build it and it Might cost about the same. Its my one splurge of the last 2 years, aside from kits and parts, and from the looks of it money well spent.. Now how about a North Coast Limited so I can go broke happy!!!!
Wow. I am drooling over this set. Dont think my train budget can take this hit though. 
Passenger train Collector: Thank you for posting the pictures from York. It is a beautiful set! I am still on the fence due to the 21 inch cars but seeing pictures does make me want it more.
Thanks,
Don
Agreed Brian that is a gorgeous Train!!! Well done Scott!!!
Great looking train!
Beautiful looking train.
"Did you get your order in for it while you were there? "
Yep, sure did, the day Scott announced this set last November.
It was great having dinner, John, with you and the Forum guys (with Elizabeth) at the OGR Forum event.
As promised, here are the photos taken from the 3rd Rail Booth of the ToT.
Exceptional pictures. I am glad that I ordered the TOT.
Thank you
The ToT set looks awesome, love the color!
Can't wait to get my set!
If anyone is on the fence about ordering the ToT, my thought is that we may never a scale set produced again.
Jim
Oh boy, she is a beauty!!! Thanks for posting the pics, Brian.
Great photos Brian! Wish I could have been there to see the ToT in person but very glad I ordered one. Was anything mentioned about the delivery date?
Emile
Great looking train • Sunset Models, has a lot of details.
Hi Brian, that is one beautiful set, a show piece to be sure. Glad you and Elizabeth had a good time at the meet and safely home again. Thanks for posting photo's.
Steve, Lady and Tex
I second that; thanks to both the builder and the reporter!
In all the fuss about this set I had completely forgotten that the vista domes are 21" cars . . .
"Great photos Brian! Wish I could have been there to see the ToT in person but very glad I ordered one. Was anything mentioned about the delivery date?"
Emile, you should see your set sometime in late November.
