Here is a copy of an email I just sent to Athearn. I am very
disappointed- guess nobody at Athearn took the time to check with the BRHS
as far as accuracy goes on this one! The 'F' units have been a different
story- I like what I have seen so far. Hope they check for accuracy on the
forthcoming 'Grayback' F-3's/F-7 for the proper shade of not Gray - not
White!

Subject: Genesis CB&Q 2-8-2
Dear Athearn,
I just received your latest GENESIS 2-8-2 releases in the store today and
I must say...someone needs to do some homework! I have never seen any CB&Q
steam locomotive with White Lettering and White Herald! Every photo in every
book I have in my library shows the 'Q' engines with either Deluxe Gold or
Bronze lettering and the same on the Herald on the tender. I have a lot of
CB&Q model railroaders that frequent my store and like most modelers- they
are picky when it comes to quality locomotives. You have dropped a bomb with
this release and I hope I don't get stuck holding the bag when it comes to
selling them.
