Talked to Athearn

[SteamGene]

I told Mr. B this yesterday, so nothing was done behind the Bachmann back.  I spoke to the Athearn reps at the Hampton show yesterday and told them that I thought they should consider some Harriman steam as a new project.  I pointed out their UP steam and told them I thought the workaday Harriman would be a great addition.  They seemed to know that the Harrimans would match several different western/midwestern roads and said they'd pass the comment on. 
Maybe it will help.  If you want Harriman and go to a show that has an Athearn rep, talk to them about it.
