I have a John Adams and picking up the George Washington later this week. Which ones do you guys have?

They are very nice cars... but I just don't foresee starting another collection of something like these.
I thought about buying these when they first came out. Saw them many times since on auctions sites and haven't ever bid on any. Guess I just decided I don't need another collection of cars sitting in the boxes doing nothing. If it weren't for that, I'd have all of them.
They are very nice, saw them in person several times. I hope you enjoy them.
They are nice but I sure don't need another series of fantasy boxcars, would rather spend the cash on repros of actual rolling stock.
do you pull this presidential consist with the MTH George Bush engine?
I have the first four (the Mt. Rushmore Presidents), and I will probably pick up a few more in the series, but I am in no way going to collect them all.

I have all eight so far. I got the first set because I was so glad for the all made in America and wanted to fully support the idea. So got the second set to go with the first though a little disappointed that ALL the parts aren't US made. Still planning on the next set but I am a little concerned. The article mentioned above says that they are decorated and assembled in the US. Does that mean that now NONE of the parts are made here? If that is the case this is starting to become a deal breaker for me.
There are only a couple I would consider.

The way I see it, at least American workers are employed to assemble the cars. To me that is better than nothing. I have the first set, they are beautiful.

The only politicians on mine would be tied to the track with the Super Chief approaching at notch 8.
1st 8 for me (like someone else said, I started so I would be supporting the "made in USA" initiative). Passed on the last 4 offered as I can't see collecting a whole set of these.
I do think they are well done cars. While they obviously are not "real", the artwork is very nicely executed.
If they do all of them, I may pick up a few more, but there's no way I'm ever getting all of them no matter where they are made.
