Has anybody noticed all the cool new stuff Athearn has come out with in the last few months? I just bought two of their five unit intermodel cars and a couple single double stacks. Pretty cool. I also saw some of their pre weathered box cars down at the local hobby shop. Neat!

Did the pre weathered cars look any good? Did they look all the same or did the weathering differ from car to car?

They did all pretty much look the same. It appeared they were all airbrushed on the trucks and lower bodys, with a rust color. It looked good though. But they were all 60 foot cars, and my yard is already full.
