Attention SCL modelers! Athearn is considering cancelling plans
to produce F-units decorated for Seaboard Coast Line due to lack
of pre-orders. Anyone interested in Genesis F9A, F3A/F7A, and
F7A/B models decorated for Seaboard Coast Line should contact
their favorite retailer as soon as possible. Although preorders
for the Genesis SCL GP40-2 were also low, Athearn will produce
them as previously announced.
