Atlas O PLEASE make this!!! Would you buy one???

Would make an excellent addition to the roster. 

As a Wish recipient you might find this interesting. Up until her death she funded these cars out of her own pocket and had Wish kids attend the races with their families. Her family has continued the funding after her death.

I'd be in for one. 

I would be in for one. I like the Atlas O trinity hoppers, I have even sold off my MTH hoppers as I add the Atlas cars to my roster. Thanks for starting this, hope Atlas is watching . Nick T. 

   ............make it a golden spike club car !

Very cool.

I would get one

I would be in for one. My sister in law who is no longer with us was involved with the organization.

No make it more accessible so more people can buy it. Have $5 from each car go to make a wish. 

Yes, I would definitely buy one, and proudly display it …. O and HO.

I would think the licensing for the use of the artwork would have some monies funneled to Make-A-Wish.

Too Modern for my focused modeling.

While they're at it with this car, go ahead and do the standard Potash scheme.

They can make it the 2020 GSC car which means you might see it by 2025.

Thank you to all who replied!

Will I agree, the standard Potash scheme would be great.  This is one of the best models Atlas makes but it has much untapped potential imo.  Nothing against fantasy schemes, just prefer the real deal personally. I'd like to see the standard Potash like you mentioned, more plain GATX, and more with the ADM leaf logo as well.

Bobby, great article, that is very cool!  It's a great cause and made a profound impact on my life at the time.

Would purchase

Hopefully Atlas gets production back on track this coming year.

They will make it eventually.

I wonder what they will cost.

Will the price include a charitable donation? 

Andrew

You can count me in for one too, I believe it is a very worthwhile cause.

It's too modern for me also but I'd still buy one if a portion of the sale went to Make-A-Wish.

Has production resumed at this point? I assumed so since they're back to their monthly announcement schedule.

It is possible Atlas O may be back in production but to date nothing from any new factory has shipped yet although their production schedule shows several models for 1Q 2019 delivery which is probably optimistic. JMO

I'd buy a few. Great cause to support and have on the layout.

This is a great idea and I hope Atlas O takes you up on it for the next catalog!

Would love to see this come thru so it can be added to my wish for a cure.

As someone who has celebrated my CHF 10th anniversary this past Father's Day and will observe my 5th anniversary of stage 4 mRCC this October these types of cars do have what you might call special meaning for me.

Will they be able to make the 5161 hoppers sooner and more often now?

Andrew

I would be in for one ! 

When I see the Make a wish jars at Various places , I always give money .

Yes would get one

Thanks so much to everyone for voicing your support....since the breast cancer cars have been so successful for all the manufacturers, this car seems like a no-brainer to me! Hope Atlas makes it! Also hoping Athearn makes it in HO scale since they have HO scale tooling for the 5161.
