The Pioneer Zephyr. Con Cor is just doing a special Silver Streak edition of the Pioneer Zephyr with Silver Streak markings. The set costs an arm and a leg, but includes a copy of the movie!

Movie had everything, newfangled medical contraptions, German spies, and a beautiful stainless steel train (oh and let's not forget the shots of all the steam locomotives).

One was brand new, two ran with heavyweight equipment and the other one hadn't been put into service yet.

No-brainer.
