I just picked up some of the new N-Scale Athearn PS-2 2,983 cf covered hoppers (I had ordered these so long ago that I actually forgot about them, but my local hobby store called today and said they were in). Anyway, they are in the mineral red paint scheme and look pretty close to an unweathered version of the hopper shown on page 20 of Burlington Bulletin #20. Hol Wagner's excellent article says they were delivered in 1954 with the "Everywhere West" and "Way of the Zephyrs" slogans. Slogans aren't on the Athearn cars. Being an n-scaler, I don't get too obsessive about being perfectly prototypical, but when it's a simple modification like adding a couple decals, I'll consider it. My question -- I model prior to 1960. Would these cars have definitely had the slogans on them for the remainder of the 50s? Any suggestions of just where the slogans should be placed (exact center of cars?)Also, any idea if they would have used the hyphenated "Every-where?" Finally, which side of the car should "Everywhere West" go on and which side should have "Way of the Zephyrs." ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
