It would be great for Atlas to make a Master series ACF Center Flow 4600 CU FT 3-bay covered hopper for N, HO, and O. Considering that the 4600 CU FT version was very common.

Based on the latest pricing for the Trinity covered hoppers I would think any new modern Mline car would have to be one of the larger cars IE:centerbeam flats, 6000 series center flows,50 & 60' Hycubes ,a really well detailed modern caboose etc.JMO

I am stunned by the variety and availability of all things O Scale.  It is clear that a lot of folks think there are missing items, and that existing suppliers are missing a highly profitable product line.  For those folks, the opportunity is there - entrepreneurship is what drives our economy.  Figure out what those highly profitable products are, have them made, and market them.  You will then be wealthy beyond belief.

 

Isn't that what Mike Wolf did?  He apparently is doing quite well for himself.

 

Opinion.

Wow!  People complaining about Atlas not catloging new items since they can't get a good shipping date estimate, while there's the running complaint on this board about shipping date estimates being missed!  Can't please no one! 

 

Anyway, I'm done with rolling stock.  The only thing that would start me buying more would be if Atlas started producing 19th century stuff.  When's the last item that was newly tooled?

Usually you take pains to make sure we know that you're merely posting an opinion, something that I've always found interesting...but in this case it might be good for you to remember that others also have that right, and I'm pretty sure that right also covers people who haven't as yet marketed their first O scale product...
