The Leviathan group is planning on re-creating the Lincoln Funeral Train in 2015.

The website is here:

No, they're not planning on doing the whole trip by rail...

Unfortunately, due to modern-day train traffic and the inefficiencies of an 1800s train replica, we are unable to make the entire trip on rail.

Looks like a great idea, hope they can pull it off, and based on their previous track record (oh, bad pun!) I suspect they'll do just fine.

I heard about this project. I do know that they plan on building a replica of the coach that carried Lincoln body to his finally resting place. But are they just building that one coach or are they going to build a replica of the entire or most of the train (coachs and all) with replicas? My guess is that it might be one or two coachs (maybe 3 or 4 if they have enough $$$)

Mr. Kloke will build as many cars as he can raise the monies for. At this time plans call for the Lincoln Funeral Car and a immigrant car. He also has a combine to restore sometime in the future. All it takes is Money & determination (heavy on the money side...)

This would be a cool sight! I have an HO scale of the Lincoln funeral train I got when I was a kid! It will be nice to see this project done
