Athearn March 2024 Announcement Athearn Genesis HO ACF 4600 Covered Hopper

The 3-bay Center Flow covered hopper first entered service in the mid-1960s,
built by American Car and Foundry. The cars handle loads such as grain,
corn and similar bulk commodities. The Center Flow design relies on the car’s rounded body to provide structural strength - eliminating the traditional center sill, and making gravity unloading easier.
Our 3-bay car represents the common 4600 cu.ft. capacity version. The railroads looking to replace their aging 40’ box cars in grain service needed a
modern hopper design - one that could operate within the tighter Plate B clearances for light branchline and industrial service. ACF’s design won them many contracts from a plethora of railroads. One can find these cars still in revenue service today in grain trains and other similar service. For more details, please select: www.athearn.co...

Serious question…Can you offer 3-pack pricing for undecorated versions like you do with the decorated versions?

[@calebg844]

The prices for all these new announcements are insane. I get the amount of work and time that goes into these projects but it’s gone too far at this point
