Not at all.? While there were only a limited number of the RRM Airslides (I have done my share to reduce any available ones), there are enough still out there that it wouldn't have made much sense for Ben to reinvent the wheel.? Those are all single discharge cars, both early and later configuration.

As I've just indicated, I like them, despite their being rather too modern for a transition era dairy country short line and will be very interested to see what Ben might bring to Harrisburg.? In addition to brass imports, MTH made a pretty credible twin-hopper Airslide in O scale.
