Actually, the Athearn model isn't the best choice.  Con-Cor does the exactly
correct car.  When the ELHS offered these cars, that's what we did the
decoration on.

At one point, I understood that Con-Cor had mimicked us, producing the car
in their own line.  I don't know that for a fact, but it would not be the
first time that's happened.
