[CBQ] Athearn 2893 covered hopper

["mumpseee" <eric.mumper@gmail.com>]

Group,

Do we have a rep that talks to Athearn about new products on the list?  The 
Athearn website is showing the PS-2 2893 covered hopper coming out painted in 
the mineral red and the black paint schemes.  The model is very nice and 
represents the 1954 delivered cars very nicely.  However a quick perusal of 
Burlington Bulletin 20 on Covered Hoppers leads to some disappointment.  The 
mineral red cars (example part number ATH89019) do not have the "Everywhere 
West" and "Way of the Zephyrs" and have been put into a number series from a 
1958 order for 3219 cuft cars.  Quite a shame that Athearn has a beautiful and 
accurate car for the 1954 order and then misses on the paint.
