Does Atlas have a Suggestion Box? Coalveyor for MOW

I know Kato has a page on their website to suggest a paint scheme or new model. Does Atlas have one that I've missed?

The model I'm interested in is the coalveyor in Union Pacific MOW green. I'm not a freight car expert but it looks close to me. http://www.atlasrr.com/NFreight/ncoalveyor6.htm

I believe these carry old railroad ties and other material and would go nicely with this new Atlas 89' UP MOW flat:

Here are some prototype photos in the UP 925000 series:

@Atlas Paul and @Cory Rothlisberger are regulars here...

Hopefully they see this thread and "receive" your suggestion :)

Slightly different prototype (as far as I know the UP car was UP only) but since they are doing stand in schemes as of late...

The Railwire is not your personal army.  :trollface:

Thanks for including our Atlas guys. The first spotting difference I see is the number of ribs. Overall shape looks pretty close so I'd buy a few :-)

I would be shocked if they don't eventually do these, and the predecessor UP coal scheme.
