Athearn 33k LPG Tank Cars for October release

Looks like Athearn has another run of 33K LPG tank cars scheduled for October.  Does anyone have any information as to if any of the cars are going to be stenciled for LPG ?  I had a few that I sold that were stenciled for other products but sold them.  I would like to have cars labeled for LPG as there is quite a bit of that transported on the line I model.  I reached out to Athearn but haven't heard back from them yet.

Answered my own question.  I found the PDF announcement from Athearn.  When you blow it up, you can read the ladings/stencils on the side of cars.

Thanks for finding that.
I like that Athearn posts the era that each paint scheme is appropriate. 1995+ procor looks good.

It's not October, but that expensive month is finally here.  Cars are now posted on many of your favorite e-tailer websites

And from what I've seen on facebook, these come with body mounted couplers

Yes on the body mounted couplers.
I seem to think that this run was cancelled at one point. I'd ordered 3 of them and they disappeared from their web site. I waz suprised when my hobby shop called and told me my order came in. Very nice cars. Athearn is my favorite tank car maker.
