Dave-
I wasn't nit-picking your choice of words.... even Con-Cor's use of "return" is
correct in concept only..... yes, they did have an HO Airslide... but
the research material used as the basis for the two and maybe catalog
descriptions of the paint schemes would be about the only commonality between
them!!!

My apologies...I should have used the word Return as Con-Cor does on their
web page. Thanks for your clarification.

Dave-
The Con-Cor Airslide is hardly a "rerun" of their original car.
The Airslide was young Jim Conway's entry into the Model Railroad Industry
(IIRC... there was also a USRA boxcar kit that might have predated it).
The car was a very basic kit of many parts and was done when Jim was still
in his teens....
The new car is based on his research materials obtained from GATX at the
time when the cars were still relatively new and is going to be brand
new state of the art injection molded plastic.
