.......so; are you going to tell us it's perfect; almost perfect; dang near right; kinda right but;  somewhat right; not really right; or a piece of crap..........I mean; we are waiting for the verdict.......if the hopper fits you must commit..............

I guess I'd like a specific comment - I'm tired and guess I can't tell sarcasm from sanctimonious commentary anymore..... Foobie or Fantastic........... your comment ?

It's probably more correct than a Red/White SOO caboose with a maroon F-unit.  Is that what you're looking for?

Actually, when I saw the roadnames, I just flashed to the run-on thread concerning the NW Exactrail car.

It's just a goof, you can go to bed, or whatever they call it in Canada.

ATH17213   Husky Stack Well Car: Burlington Northern #1 (3 Pack)
ATH17214   Husky Stack Well Car: Burlington Northern #2 (3 Pack)
ATH17215   Husky Stack Well Car: BNSF #1 (3 Pack)
ATH17216   Husky Stack Well Car: BNSF #2 (3 Pack)
ATH17217   Husky Stack Well Car: GBRX #1 (4 Pack)
ATH17218   Husky Stack Well Car: GBRX #2 (4 Pack)
ATH17219   Husky Stack Well Car: TTX #1 (4 Pack)
ATH17220   Husky Stack Well Car: TTX #2 (4 Pack)

The Athearn artwork shows these to be 3 and 4 drawbarred connected sets and not just a pack of individual cars. This is an interesting development and means the cars will have a single roadnumber with A,B,C & D subsets.



Proto:
BN 64019-64049           31   3 - 48' Wells COFC, drawbar   Gunderson 3-4/91                    Husky Stack re# BNSF 230000-230030
BNSF 230000-230030   31   3 - 48' Wells COFC, drawbar   Gunderson 3-4/91                      Husky Stack ex# BN 64019-64049
DTTX 270000-270059   60   4 - 48' Wells COFC, drawbar   Gunderson   10/92   GWG40   Husky Stack
http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=1397461

GBRX 92004-92006   3   4 - 48' Wells COFC, drawbar   Gunderson 9/92   Husky Stack re# ECXX 92004-92006 in 1994 rere# CRLE 5900-5902

I nearly called the blue GBRX cars as bogus and I don't recall ever seeing them before, but I did come across these. Couldn't find any evidence of the 92xxxx numbers, but they certainly ended up as CRLE 5900-5902 in blue:

http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/rsPicture.aspx?id=347913

http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=130894

Certainly a good candidate for a grunge job and a quick patch. Relatively scarce scheme though .....I was expecting a repainted BNSF scheme first, but this works. I'll be waiting to see what they do with the drawbars though....

Trailer Train cars delivered in TTX scheme and still rolling in sets.

At least one BNSF set repainted in brown with outline BN logo.
