Caboose again?

Perhaps I have a second change on getting a nice caboose. After the cancellation of the Exactrail C50-9 caboose, Athearn just announced a C50-7 caboose in their genesis range, available for pre-order now, and delivery in Feb 2012.
I may just order this one instead. Details on the prototype are here: http://www.athearn.com/newsletter/071911/01_Gen_BW_Caboose_071911.pdf
Of course I will still go ahead and scratchbuild my own at some point, I have too many parts on order etc to stop this now.

Athearn also announced a Rotary snow plow+ F7B power unit combo,in their RTR range, in several road names incl my favourite SP. However I am not that certain if these rotaries are 100% accurate for the SP version.
