I've never seen any. I'm pretty sure the answer is no.


Hmm... maybe I'll ask
them to make a model of
my tree house...

Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.
"It works! It works!"

Heck with freight cars, allthough I would like to see more of the coal cars.

How about more vehichles, including bringing some of the HO models down to the proper scale? I know they are a little old for most guys on here but I would love to see all the variations of the Ford Model A's done in N scale. Bring back the fire trucks also.

So Athearn is making an N scale model of Justin Beiber? v :scared:

The sixth graders I teach this year could care less about him, which is a first in a few years. They have moved on.

I have no particular faith in any of my suggestions making a difference, but  I will say that I have really, really liked their covered hoppers. Some typical (hurt feelings) remarks in this thread about Athearn and N scale, but they have produced some very nice models.
Hope they make something suitable for the late 1960s onward.

Best wishes, Dave

If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

I'd have to agree with you wholeheartedly on that, Dave... the ACF 2970 and GATC 2600 Airslide are top shelf. So are the LPG tankcars. If they dove hard into N scale production at the level of those cars, it'd be devastating to Mr Wallet!
