Hi Rob,
How limited is the NC limited set?

I don't mean to contradict Hans, but we only made 30 North Coast Limited Sets. I think Hans was looking at some earlier production numbers.

Here is the text from the box:

The Northern Pacific’s North Coast Limited.

For most of the 20th century there were two great trains that connected the nation to the great Pacific Northwest: the Great Northern’s Empire Builder, and the Northern Pacific’s North Coast Limited. The train began operations between Chicago and Seattle in 1900 as Train #1 westbound, and #2 eastbound, as a summer only special. It went year round in 1902. In 1930 the North Coast Limited received new steel Heavyweight Pullman cars. Our model of the North Coast Limited is circa 1938. On board services included a Barber Shop, Soda Fountain, Separate baths for men and women, valet service, radios, and an open platform observation car. Parlor cars were added to the daylight portions of the train, so it did not have all-Pullman status, but the services were luxurious to say the least. The dining car was especially popular for its signature dish: The Great Big Baked Potato! While the North Coast Limited was not as fast as the Empire Builder due to its longer route, the scenery was spectacular as the train ran through Yellowstone National Park.

Our model of the North Coast Limited is a faithful representation of the 1938 train and includes three Pullman Sleeping cars representing 10-1-1 accommodations. These sleeping cars were in the Chief series. Included in our North Coast Limited are Chief Many Horns, Chief Red Thunder, and Chief Standing Bull. We have also included our Pullman 3-2 Open Platform Observation car #1716 lettered for The North Coast Limited, Dining car #1690, Railway Express Agency Baggage car #1502, RPO #91 and a Northern Pacific Paired Window Coach. All cars are in the Northern Pacific’s Pine Tree green livery. We have also produced two Parlor cars, AZL 71433-1 & 2 in Northern Pacific Pine Tree green that would make an excellent addition to your North Coast Limited.

Sleeper only train - 3 cars enough? Best, Sven on freight trains:

Looking at a past NP heavyweight run. This release should sell fast. The SP Sunset did. Sincerely, Hans
