Hey,
Since I've been a diabetic for over 20 years anything diet is my friend! Refering to the origional question though, the Coke series as well as the other special runs from Athearn are of the same good quality as the rest of their line. The Coke beverage delivery truck with the Hackney trailer is quite awesome, in my slightly biased opinion. Unfortunatley I dont' think the rolling stock is prototypicaly correct. The last locomotives I've seen in real life carrying a brand name were the Kodak switchers here in Rochester and a Pfizer SW in Danbury, wow how long will that thing run?
(lame attempt at humor...)

:-D They sure are pretty! Unfortunately there is no prototype for the Coke painted locos and cars.I'm not so sure about the truck trailers.
My drink of choice is Cherry Coke :-) !

I can't believe that Athearn would produce anything but prototypically correct items :wink: Oh well, gotta get some mileage out of those old dies somehow!
