Atlas Trainman 4750 hoppers

What's happened to the Trainman 4750 in O Scale? New schemes are coming out in the 4427 hopper,but it seems the 4750 offerings are about "0." The new schemes on the 4427s are VERY NICE & would love to see these schemes & others on the 4750s. For instance,Chessie System is represented on the 4427 hopper-how great to see the proper Chessie scheme on the 4750s,as well as a new CSX car with conspicuity stripes & new car numbers. The paint on the original CSX hopper was great but the fine lettering such as on the ends which says,"CAUTION NO SIDE LADDERS," was never placed on that car as well as the lettering where the cars are pulled by cables near the jacking pads,which says,"PULL HERE." I see this lettering on most every other 4750 out there,but the CSX model,well I don't know what happened that it missed this lettering.(?)

The yellow SCL 4750 as well as FAMILY LINES SYSTEM cars done in the '80-'81 time period for the SCL & L&N Railroads, would be nice additions too. The SEABOARD SYSTEM 4750 with SBD reporting marks,is also missing.

How about it Atlas-are you listening?

Just my 2 cents worth.
