MTH Blue Comet Freight Set

MTH trains surprised Blue Comet owners in the 2006 Tinplate Volume 1 catlogue with a 500 Series Standard Gauge Jersey Central "Blue Comet Box Car with Brass Trim.  Blue Comet owners thought this would be a great addition to their 400E Blue Comet set placed between the tender and the passenger cars.  And they are right, it looks great!  But what a surprise when MTH released more Blue Comet Freight Cars in subsequent catalogs.  It looks like the beginning of a Blue Comet Freight Set and it is quite impressive.  Here's the train so far:

#10-2173 500 Series Standard Gauge No. 30280 Jersey Central "Blue Comet"  Box Car with Brass Trim

 
#10-2175 500 Series Standard Gauge No. 520 Jersey Central "Blue Comet" Flood Light Car with Brass Trim
 

 
#10-2219 500 Series Standard Gauge No. 92511 Jersey Central "Blue Comet" Tank Car with Brass Trim
 

 
Is there a gondola, flat car, coal hopper, or caboose in the future?
Stay Tuned....More to Come???
