[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by LGBF7</i> <br /><br />I I remember the waiting to see if Highliners would do the A unit that never happened. As for the ATSF warbonnet being done correctly, from my digital photos of the real unit in CA and the model here in front of me, its the closest I have seen, almost perfect in my opinion. I just hope they reissue the Monon F3's with sound soon!! Cheers Mike <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />The Highliner A unit was completed before Athearn puchased the project but it never reached the market as you said. It would seem that money might have been the issue, but most of us agree, they are the best. Paul's design and tooling is the best offered and I would like to see the E8 and E9's offered in kit or Genesis type form. We probably will not see the E series with this level of quality, but it would be nice. <br /> <br />Now that the Genesis line is out, the Highliner A and B units are available as shell kits only and really are nice to work with if you want certain detail that has not been offered in the Genesis line. <br /> <br />I would like to see the Highliner A units offered with plating like the older B units were offered so we can paint our own with the Stainless looking panels. . <br /> <br />
