Railroad Model Craftsman has an online review posted with pics of the Athearn F89F flatcar (sans auto rack) and UPS drop trailer (different prototype than TrainWorx version), both scheduled to debut later this year.

UPS drop trailer (different prototype than TrainWorx version)

I'd be really interested in understanding this better than I do Bryan - how is this a different prototype than the Trainworx version?

So they had a drawing to compare to and then only measured the one thing you don't need a drawing to know what the correct measurement should be.

Great to see these I'll be in for 3 TT red and 4 yellow. . Athearn has really stepped it up in N lately.

That a nice looking car, hopefully they do the same variation that they have done in HO.

My wallet panicked for a moment - these aren't due until October. 

I need a couple more UPS vans (circa 1970s) to go with the Trainworx one I have - nice that its a different one. I am hoping they will also soon announce more Fruehauf Zvans etc to go with the flats ...

I really want to see some RTTX versions of this car.

Athearn did the RTTX in HO, so we'll probably see it in a future release.
