The new MoPac Airslide hoppers are a hit. We had a lot of people eyeing them at the MPHS annual meetings in Sedalia, Missouri, in October. These are Athearn Classic Series models, and the detail just has to be seen to be believed. Kadee definitely has a rival now! The cars are unnumbered but decals are included. Order soon. Remember, ARM and MPHS members get a 10% discount. You might want to consider signing up as a ARM internet member for $20/year and get 10% off of all our custom cars!

Did You Know?
Ever see one of our reefers in this scheme? The other side has just the Wabash flag. This is the ART's 1948 paint scheme with one herald per side. We've not offered this version, but there is an easy way to get this short-lived scheme in your ART roster!
Tom Stolte of Oddballs Decals makes a decal set (548) that contains these heralds. The Missouri Pacific buzzsaw with the blue outer circle is the key! You can apply the buzzsaw and flag to one of our 24000 series cars (the first run of ART cars), and change the reweigh date if you like. It's a pretty simple change that creates a rare paint scheme that was applied to cars for only three years (1948-50).

White Train
The nuclear weapons transport train was donated to the ARM in 2006. This is a fascinating collection of the cars that were used by the United States to transport nuclear bombs across the country up until the early 1980s.
