Just an aside, but all 7 of these cars in the set are dynamically numbered and named based on the data from the NP historical society. e.g. There is an SP&S owned sleeper called the Portland. CB&Q owned the 488 diner (thankfully being museum restored)... and so on.

Moar info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Coast_Limited

The later (1954-1970) RW2 North Coast Loewy paint scheme with the F7 A-B-B-A loco set will be re-released as well.

(Note: There wasn't actually a dome car in this paint, so close one eye when you run the train.)
