As a result of our conversations with the good folks at Athearn at the 2001 NMRA National Train Show, the 1/87 Vehicle Club has been asked by Athearn to solicit, proof, and compile photos and data for paint schemes for the new Ford C cab trucks! Don't worry folks, Roadway Express is already on Athearn's radar! Please don't submit any Roadway photos unless you have a unique variation from the norm. What we need are:

(1) Photos (front view, rear view, and both sides) of any submitted truck
(2) Include photos of cab and body if of a straight truck
(3) If photos are not available, written info and drawings will suffice; include as many details as possible
(4) Any historical information you can provide such as time period of the paint scheme
(5) Please indicate whether your info applies to a truck tractor, box truck, or stake truck
(6) Please submit your digital photos to:

[email protected]

Sorry, we cannot return any photos; all photos submitted become the property of the 1/87 Vehicle Club.

If you would like to become involved in an interactive and very lively discussion regarding the possibilities of the Athearn Ford C cab, subscribe to the 87scalecars e-mail list. [posted 07/20/2001]
