Atlas C-420 on Hi-Ad trucks

Anyone else notice the latest round of Atlas C-420s has Hi-Ad trucks on the LIRR version?  Or was I seeing things?

Only the HO version has Hi-Ad trucks. Sorry for it being a bit misleading, the same art file was used for both HO and N versions. We will try to keep an eye on this in the future.

Thanks Steve.  I did get my hopes up when I saw the artwork, had a project in mind.
Cheers

Would it be practical for someone to 3D print some Hi-Ad truck frames?

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.

I have a set of these on my C-430, just thought I would see what the Atlas ones looked like.  David's 3D work was pretty good.  I also have his 3 axle version on a C-636.

Guess it would be practical!  I have no need for them, so hadn't looked...

There are some things we would like to do, but sometimes we run into constraints that make things impractical. We try, between AtlasPaul and I we do as much as we can for N scale.
