I like it! Always like more tankers.

I need to get their big high cubes also. I like how well they look. I've started collecting their articulated auto cars and long flats. They have great taste!! More modern!!

Yes, I saw on Ebay some of those 89 flats and I guess the new trailer release fit them fine?? I bought 3 a few years ago and looking for some Hunt trailers tp put on them.

I could easily spend more than a grand this next 8 months form Atlas releases but then I look in my closet and I got to stop.

Thanks for the info on the tank car ladings, and leasing data.   I also plan on getting a few of these.  Not sure which ones, but I'm sure I will get more than planned for, as I usually do!  

R Nelson, That is my problem, getting more than I really need. I went gung ho with the trinity corn tankers, 18 in all, as I am going to have a facility that loads or unloads them with a 2 rail siding with ones lined up to work on. BUt do I really need the 18? No, and I'll possibly try to sell off a few to ones that need road number to fill in their needs.NO way any more will I go deep into any car outside of the Evans and Berwick box as they are Atlas reeleases over and over with new owners.

I know what you mean Phill.....   Last count, I have 25 of the Trinity hoppers, and may get a few more as new roads (like the upcomming ADM leaf logo car) come out.......   Regarding the Berwicks, I have 21....but they are sweet cars!  Guess I'm a gluton for punishment...LOL!

R Nelson, Yes, I have pigged out on buying cars,especially Atlas because of the detailed work. Just don't want to missout as they may not reproduce for years if ever any of these models. Example the CZ cars. I don't do passenger but still I bought into the CB&Q CZs thinking why would they be reproduced. Those 86 ft. tanks haven't been reproduced and others. I bought only 2 of the 86 flats as can't see too many on my 36x 11 ft layout. I now have enough cars to cover my layout over twice its size. That is over spend but it made me happy buying and owning those cars, sort of like the wife and her jewels. We all have vices and trains are totally

mine.

Well Phill, as I tell the better half....there are worse things I could spend money on!   Not quite sure if that flies or not........

Phill...let me know if you have any Atlas O tanks ADMX tanks with a leaf or molecule logo and how much you might want for it or them.

Doesn't fly with mine, but she looks the other way.

SD60m, Sorry, no adm. but GATX, minn, truesweet and cargill, Ha!

MATT, It could be a lot worse, I could own a bass boat and with gaas and repairs be way over trains. I am no where near a good bass boat yet. or hot rods. My son and I redid a 70 challenger. Thousands ouch. And my wife's viking designer one sewing mach.  5K. I don't remember where I came up with that money as I never spent that much at one time on trains. Most was $1400. Sunset FEF3.

SD60M,

Do those ADMX leaf cars you're looking for have the yellow stripes on them?  I seem to remember Altas may have done them with and without the stripes. 

MikesRR.....The ADM molecule logo car did not have the safety stripes on them, but the ADM leaf logo car did have them.  Nice looking cars, especially after weathering!   I'm sure Atlas will re-run these in the future.

R Nelson, Now there is a reason I have many of trinity tank cars as I was not so worried about Atlas reruning but if say I wanted a string I don't want all the same car numbers and so I started buying from the opening all that I could get to insure I had enough and that I'd have different road numbers. So I have bought several from the first few runs to doubly insure to fill my Wants.
