Dear N Scalers: Athearn has just announced Santa Fe Ice Reefers with Factory applied weathering! Last year they released the new Ice Reefers and must have had a few left unsold so they were sent back to the factory an a fine mist of weathering was added.

So the numbers available are very limited. All that was produced was limited to stock on hand. So there are varying amounts available of each car. We would suggest ordering ASAP if you want to be assured of getting the cars you want.

We have a copy of the official announcement below, and we have enlarged the image for you so you can see for yourself. We realize many of you will probably want to order these in as many road numbers as possible as they usually ran in long strings.

Therefore if you love ATSF, and want to buy a number of these cars, and want a deal, give us a call. All "Extra Net" orders placed before Monday Dec 17th 2007 will be sold at 30% off MSRP. (You must quote the ATSF Ice Reefer Weathered Car Deal.)(Assuming there is anything left to order - first come, first serve).

If you don't have an "Extra Net" account, why don't you? Come see what you are missing.
