Simply for the record, the company was called Highliners. The B unit body kit was available forever, while the HOers waited, waited and waited for the A. Almost a vision of the way things are now...

The one thing I can't recall was if the A unit shell kit came out before or after Athearn's acquisition. I think it was actually after.

I remember one conversation I was having with a well respected modeler. He was going on and on about not liking F units. I finally asked him the musical question "Why not?"

The sound of crickets followed...
