I didn't read your original post very well! However, I think what I said has merit about encouraging Athearn to do with what they have to show exactly what the demand is. I'm not sure petitions (the word "petition" - especially today, 4 July - makes me think of the phrase "redress of grievances" :) are the way to go, but rather individual letters. If they get flooded with those, you bet they'll respond. I, too, have wanted those Grinstein Green babies since I first saw them in Irving, Texas idling away. My BN coal trains have never looked "quite right" without them and the H1 C449Ws I bought years ago just don't cut it. I have seen a repaint of the SD75M in Grinstein Green on ebay and it was convincing, from a distance. Maybe you could go down that road. As for seeing a SD70MAC, write to every manufacturer you can find (that does what you consider quality work) and encourage your friends to do the same. I think there's enough momentum behind this to see these in a few years. I mean, if Kato did the SD90MAC, there MUST be hope for us! RC
