produce the F-7 warbonnet with all the hand rails and front lifting lugs applied to them late in their careers. Has anyone tried to get them to do them?

There had been a 'modernized' version with the larger fuel tanks. Not sure what the other additional details were, they sold out too quick.

They did not come with all the grab irons going up the right side of the nose and did not have the nose lifting rings.

Seems like I weathered some blue bonnets for a friend and the nose detail and lift rings were installed on them. That was a while ago, though...

In addition, they released G22504-G22506 DC, and G22604-G22606 DCC. This version without the exhaust screens.

do a few runs of its 13,000-gallon acid tank cars in late-1980s UTLX, Procor, or (if correct) GATX paint schemes appropriate for the northeastern US and eastern Canada, as opposed to doing mostly cars appropriate only for the current day (conspicuity stripes and other modern markings) and/or the Southwest.

There are plenty of Blue Box Athearn kits still available -- at swap meets, or gathering dust on the shelves at selected surviving hobby shops.
