Did anyone 'attend' the NMRA 2021 Virtual Convention?

Where there any other MFG announcements beyond the Kato FEF,  Bachmann Catalog an Broadway Limited Catalog?

Athearn may have made this announcement at the convention:

N scale details and accessories
Box van. Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe; Burlington Northern; Delta; Denver & Rio Grande Western; United Parcel Service; Western Pacific; and painted white but unlettered. Injection-molded plastic with clear window glazing; cab interior with separate, factory-applied steering wheel; and vinyl tires. $34.99. August 2022.


I found this on Model Railroader's News page for this week, but Athearn only shows the white unlettered version on their website.   :? 

Edit:  The "vinyl tires" are most likely copied from the HO model, in which the Athearn website is also only showing the white unlettered version.  The 1/87th Vehicle Club's New Product page has the artwork for all of the paint schemes, and the HO models were announced on July 1, well before the virtual convention.  http://www.1-87vehicles.org/New%20Products/current.php

And, Athearn is also releasing another batch of N scale UPS 40-ft drop frame trailers.  http://www.athearn.com/Search/Default.aspx?SearchTerm=40%27+parcel&CatID=TNVT 

Maybe the Athearn News email with these announcements will be coming out this week?

This was part of the monthly announcement last month (June 25) - since nobody else posted them, I guess I will.  :D
