Athearn did the cars in 3 road numbers. There is a photo of the model on the BRHS web site under plastic models.
Thanks- Dennis On Nov 1, 2021, at 4:35 PM, William Hirt <whirt@fastmail.com> wrote:
There is problem why they may not do (or have not done) the
mineral red cars. The Q cars had a unique roof hatch spacing that
differed from the common P-S covered hopper arrangement. The
CB&Q cars were among the first built by P-S. You would
probably have more success trying to get Walthers to do them with
their version as they are not as picky. Take a look at an article
by Ed Hawkins in Rail Model Journal in September 2005. These back
issues are available for viewing on the TrainLife site.

All,
Since Dave mentioned the list was quiet and I responded to
Dennis Poppish with part of this, I thought I would throw this
out to the group.
Athearn has a product suggestion email,
athearn-productsuggestions@athearn.com and it appears they are
listening as they mention during the Facebook Train Tuesday
broadcast that many of the items they are releasing are a result
of suggestions. They will not respond but it only cost a few
minutes of time to send them something.
I sent suggestions on releasing the early airslides in the as
delivered scheme and the PS 2893 in the mineral red. The more
they hear from us, the better chance we have of getting
something produced. Specific information helps too.
There you go Dave, trying to make it not so quiet!
