Athearn announces tri-level autoracks in HO, start sending your letters.

Ok, info on the N&W Tri-levels:

RTTX 913049 "Date Applied" 1/66 Rack # 1266 Rack made by WK
RTTX 913075 "Date Applied" 1/66 Rack # 1216 Rack made by WK
RTTX 912125 "Date Applied" 5/65 Rack # 638 Rack made by WK

This info is from the N&W Equipment Guide as of Jan 1, 1969 (reprinted by the N&WHS).

Let's hope Athearn brings these to N scale eventually.
