Russ:
Thanks for the assignment info. I have an e-mail in to Athearn to try
to find out their source for photos of the cars in green. The Athearn
Genesis cars look very nice, but strangely the CB&Q Red ones have not
been released yet although I think the other roadnames announced at
the time are out. The original PR artwork showed the same car number
as shown in Spoor's Color Guide. I have ordered both cars in Red but
won't order in green until I know more.
If anyone else has any info/photos please let me know!
