Swafford,

I have been told from a pretty good source that more are coming and I am guessing that they will be announced in November with the other Trinity release. Either with the new cataloged run or in the Golden Spike Club as it was done last time. I do not know which heritage road names they will do this time but I hope for Santa Fe this time. I am sure whatever it is I will be buying all 4 again.

Those both work for me. I think Colorado & Southern, Northern Pacific, Great Northern, CB&Q and Burlington Northern should be added to the mix even though some were merged into each other. All they need to add is a small BNSF Swoosh logo on the lower right or a tag line 'A BNSF Company" and you have instant heritage unit. I've been going back and forth about doing some I-o-D ATSF schemes in the zebra stripes based on your design.

Actually the Frisco 438110 is a Trinity car the other 3 rd #s Atlas did are actually Greenbriar cars[ the actual prototype lettering they used was from these cars. The late Jim Weaver was a stickler for prototype accuracy the reason The KCS cars were done for the late Bob Thacher [AM Hobbies]as a special run, obviously Atlas is more flexible these days [close enough sells] Just saying
