This time it’s an SP business train.
I am not a member, so I couldn’t look at it. I do appreciate the thought. [:)]
I just ordered the sides for the first two cars for the Sunset Limited from Union Station Products. I have been putting off starting this train for too long. It is mostly been because I have been busy getting a layout up and running.
The owner of the LTS that I spend all my spare dollars at told me that the Coach Yard rep told him that the Santa Fe division superintendent cars will be out this fall. I ordered the thing almost three years ago, so I will believe it when I see it. I can’t wait to run that shorty on the tail of my Super Chief/El Cap (to heck with the rivet counters).
I also need to get in touch with Con Cor again to find out what the status is with their hi level cars. They mentioned getting something going by this summer the last time I asked them. Still need that lounge…
I feel your pain on releases from the brass importers. I waited 2 years for my dome car 60 from Overland. I recently pre-ordered lounge car 62 and WB Strong from Coach Yard.

Well, your cars should come in about the same time as mine since they are all part of the Santa Fe Business Car Series. From what I know the only way to get what you want in brass is to order early as possible and wait. Good luck to us all!!
I hate to see how much these two cars will set me back.

I don’t know where he got his pricing from, but it looks like most all the biz cars are gonna be $495. I actually asked TCY for a price estimate last year, and they quoted $495 for the division super’s car, so this may be about right. Here is the link… http://www.uncledavesbrass.com/BR-CY-H.HTML
Edit: I kinda like the pricing on the pair of E1s. I wished I wouldn’t have seen that.[;)]
That works price wise. Be advised though, the E-1’s are on hold with Coach Yard.
