Happy day, I can finally stop looking for those elusive UP flared radiator SD70M's with yellow sill.

I'm looking forward to the BNSF "smurf" GP38-2.  Couple freight cars hold some interest also.

I am waiting now for the GP20s.  Not far from a GP18.  I am sure that we will see them in a future release.

I wish one of the manufacturers would finally get the lift ring arrangement correct for EMD's first generation GP family.   Outside of the GP7, they changed drastically.

LOL. Why do you say primed for grime. Is that a reference to the freight road number?

The "Primed for Grime" series is Athearn adding a pre-weathering aspect to the engine or freight car.  Link to their explanation below.
