Well, I watched the fantastic review of the Atlas Gunderson Stack Cars on Ericstrains. I've got to get a set of those. Have any of you purchased these cars yet? If so, where did you get them?

I think High Country Hobbies might have some left.
I pre-ordered mine from Charlie Ro the first time around. He doesn't normally do Atlas rolling stock, so it was special order with 20% down. This last time I went with Mr Muffin, again pre-order. He does stock Atlas on a regular basis, and takes orders nothing down.
If you want from the first run, you better get on the hunt. I'm sure a lot of places are sold out. The second run hasn't hit the shelves yet. So you have a chance. I would expect a third run to be announced early 2017.
MR UNION PACIFIC,
I bought all four sets in different road names. I second Eric's review. These cars are fantastic. Nicholas Smith has some left. Do a search. Be aware, they need lots of containers and they add up quickly. Nicholas Smith still has sets left for $134.95 !! Great price.
BTW, I returned my four Lionel PS-1 sound boxcars which don't squeal and got another set of these Gundersons !! What a good decision I made.
Scrappy
Awesome! I'm going now to check Nicholas Smith.
Ok, I just went to the Nicholas Smith site and he has the Gunderson stack cars for $234.00. I ordered a set, but I noticed I was charged $14.10 tax!!! What the heck? I've never payed tax on ordering from the net before, at least I've never noticed. So who gets the tax? The Feds?
Clint, Just call them. It's easier, and much more fun.
Good idea.
I used to order RC airplane stuff online from a large company. They opened a distribution warehouse in my state and now have to charge me sales tax. No more ordering from them.
