RD4's are still fairly new. C&NW had some of the first ones built which arrived around 1994. They are still in service all over the place. They are also both bottom dump and rotary. They aren't being built now but have been succeded by the RD5 and now the RD6 from Trinity. http://www.trinityrailcar.com/railcars/index.html <br />Bethgon models from Walthers and Athearn are good for cars used anytime during the past 10-15 years with only the paint schemes determining the correct dates they went into use. Those and the RD4's are good models for modern service.
