Seriously. They started the series, and I figured they would keep going with it.
I am hoping that they will offer more in the Golden Spike Club this November.
The people at Atlas O might as well use the Trinity 5161 as a stand in for all the Gunderson 5188 CU FT 3-bay covered hoppers, because the first two for Great Northern and Frisco had 5188 as the CU FT. The mistake is already there, just keep going with it.

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.

Good Day Blue Streak,
Thanks for the news! I'm hoping for the Frisco and Great Northern, which will make a total of three offered per roadname. The Santa Fe and Colorado and Southern would be great!
Regards,
Swafford
I love these 5161s, prototypical or not. I have a snake that started with the KCS run - what beautiful cars...can't wait to put my order in for more.
Right idea, wrong builder and equipment.
HEY BNSF! WHERE ARE YOUR HERITAGE SERIES SD70ACe's and ES44's?!? If you do them, I'll step down as the self-appointed Information Minister of the Isle of Denial!
Frank, "Official" Minister of Paint Schemes of the Isle of Denial:
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
