Exactrail caboose not in production

Last year Exact Rail announced they were intending to manufactur a HO model of the SP C50-7 caboose. I pre-ordered one too, however they've now announced they won't be putting the model in production after all, at least not for now. However, my consolidation is, that Athearn has shown a test sample of the same bay window caboose in their genesis range at a train show recently. I wonder if Athearn's intention of producing the caboose made Exact Rail decide, not to produce one, as Athearn is a bigger company. I also wouldn't be surprised if Exact Rail actually helped Athearn developing their model, they've done a lot for them in the past, so perhaps this is how it all pans out. Time will tell.
