Been telling you guys about failing details on the Atlas cars.

Heavy old obsolete cars without interior floorboards or opening doors.

 

All 4 of my AAR 40' box cars irons and ladders have crumbled just sitting on the shelf.

I have since replace all the broken parts with plastic and aluminum fittings.

They have not been able to be competitive in quality or pricing. I give them 2 more years in O unless something changes.

I'm finishing up what I have for friends, but I will only be using future production for personal use.

Sorry to read. You offered a great solution. The Muffin arrived too late. 

I just bought off of eBay a brand new in the Box never been run Atlas O Swift Reefer that was put out a few years back. 3 of the ladders going up the side were completely disintegrated. I have also noticed on a lot of my other Atlas cars that the bottom step runs disintegrate if you just touch them now. Does anyone know where I can get replacement plastic ladders for my Reefer?

I have gotten these in the past from Atlas, but I don't know if they have any left or not. Atlas doesn't seem to have as good a stock of parts as they used to.
