Nate,

#3034 is one I am going to model. This photo has the right look to capture my interest in modeling it. The weathering is GREAT!

I have to disagree with you on Unit #738. I see it having hi mounts up front both sides and hi/low on rear right and low on rear left. This is a not so great example, but I see only one high mount brake cylinder on the rear right.

Found this photo of 3038 dated 06/1976 and it has high mounts up front and High/low rear. The rear is low mount on the left and hi/low mount on the right

#3041 front is low mount on the right and hi/low on the left. All high mount on the rear.

The truck combinations are very important. If Athearn is touting detail specific models. Ask if they plan on adding the air dam behind the inertial filter screens.
