MTH has already released their RailKing (minimum diameter curve O-31) 
Burlington Pioneer Zephyr. 

MTH has also announced (but has not yet released) a Premier (minimum 
curve O-72) Bulington Pioneer Zephyr in the 2000 V3 catalog. 

MTH has also released Premier (O-42) California Zephyr 70' ABS 5-car 
passnger sets with sleeper/diner and full-length vista dome cars as 
add-on sets. No locomotives have been announced for this set. MTH 
has the tooling for EMD E8 and E6 (maybe modified to an 
E5?)locomotives. 

In 1995 or 1996, MTH released a Premier CB&Q F3 ABA set with a choice 
of 60' aluminum CZ cars (wrong lettering font) or 70' aluminum CZ
cars 
(correct Zephyr font). 

A few years back MTH also released a RailKing WP F3 set with CZ cars.


I do not know of any MTH Illinois Zephyr sets. Did CB&Q have an 
Illinois Zephyr? Is the Illinois Zephyr strictly an Amtrak train?
