    This is the high-side car, specifically the CEI version. Just announced today, March 5.

    These have been out for a few months. I had a case and only have three left.

    I had to figure out why this didn’t add up.

    Now I think I got it, Tangent added nine new schemes to the recent releases which hadn’t completely sold out yet, with CEI among the previous releases and still available. It’s only of academic interest to me, since these cars were first built after the change to low brakewheel / no roofwalk on house cars, which marks the end of my era.

    Still, I’m hoping for more low-side 4427s or more early Center-Flow, which included at least one lot built with TP reporting marks. At least there is an announced Athearn Center-Flow in UP paint, from back when UP was an honorary Kansas railroad.
