Athearn N Scale Announcements - May 2020

[Mark5]

For some reason, Athearn has not added the May announcements to the announcement page (EDIT: Athearn finally added the announcements 6/1/2020):

http://www.athearn.com/Articles/Hobbywire.aspx

But, with advance search you can see that they added new roadnames for:

• Bombardier Passenger Cars http://www.athearn.com/newsletter/052920/08_N_Bombardier_052920.pdf

• ACF 4600 Covered Hoppers (CE&I, MP, SBD, SCL, RI, BN, RI patched for other roadnames (FURX, MILW, SSW)) http://www.athearn.com/newsletter/052920/07_N_ACF4600_052920.pdf

Hopefully, they will update eventually with links to the artwork. Updated above. The oldest cars in this release were built in 1975 (MP)

Is that the 3rd run of the hoppers they've annouced? Have they delievered any of them yet?

They look nice, but they'd be nice to see in the flesh.

Yeah. 1st (and 2nd) run due soon!

Damn, I was hoping for more Sounder Bombardier coaches.....

Great time for AMT modelers, though. Are there any?

Thanks, I'll be honest, I don't follow Athearn as much as I should, but the Bombardier coaches caught my attention in this announcement.
