Some while back I posted here about Scott's passenger car offerings, which now include both scale and "shorty" or "O42" versions of three trains, including SP Daylight articulated cars. Haven't heard much about these since and I figured the reservations were only building up slowly, which might mean delay - or worse.
However, checking out another Forum I found this bulletin from Scott issued yesterday:
Folks,
The 3 rerun Aluminum trains are a go. Including the 042 style shorter cars.
In order of reservations:
1948 20th Century
SP Daylight + 3/4 Dome to be announced. Ooops I just announced it.
1948 Broadway Ltd.
Should be done with all 3 + Hiawatha Short 2nd Run by the end of 2021.
The C&O L1 Hudson and Chessie Cars should also be in this time period.

If you are a passenger car fanatic this is a big deal and not least because these will be aluminum cars that nobody else makes anymore. The 3/4 dome is a real surprise as that was a distinctive SP-built car that I think has only been made once in 3-rail O scale. (I didn't lobby Scott for this but clearly somebody has.) Streamliner Memories has a page on this car which collects some of the better surviving records: streamlinermemories.info/?p=1392. Well done (again), Mr Mann.
