Doc: was the photo at Dunton view east March 2004, or... I'm missing the thread connection. Thanks/

Both pictures are looking east/north, and it was March 2005.. got my years mixed up. 160 ran away in 2004, this was taken about a year later.

I noticed that on the flyer there's a couple details that aren't correct. The air filter box should be square and the exhaust stacks shouldn't have that box over them. They got the NY&A models correct why would they change the LIRR versions?

Athearn has corrected it - look at their site. Several people have emailed them and they fixed it.

Good to hear, thanks for the update.
