Atlas spring 2024 2 rail offerings

Catalog Link for those that haven't seen it yet: https://download.atlasrr.com/0...RING2024MSRPOnly.pdf

A great catalog! It didn't have what I expected, but lots of good stuff in there! I'll definitely be in for the Amtrak P7 P42s, and the UP GP15s. Do you think there is a chance you or one of the other dealers will run the 2-8-0 in 2-rail for Grand Canyon? If not, I'll pick up one of the ones offered and repaint it.

Nothing here to reach for my credit card, still waiting for modern (ish) boxcars instead just re-runs and repaints. Uninspiring IMHO.  But I had little anticipation so not disappointed.

What do u want?

Some of their HO scale 50' +  boxcars from the 70's-90's scaled up to 1:48 in the Masterline series, but TBH I have given up on Atlas now.  I have resorted to buying expensive limited edition resin kits to achieve a 'contemporary' look

thanks

“Shortlines that haven’t been done before”? How about…

Beth,

Anything at all on GE U25B demonstrators in red and white? DCS compatible and with fixed pilots of course. I know that these are announced in 3 rail, but would need 2-Rail U boats. I don't believe these were ever offered previously in either 2R or 3R. Seems to be a simple request or an addition to a 3R offering.

These have been done by Atlas in HO.  How about some O gauge?

2 rail U25's were done by MTH previously.  At this point, MTH staying away from more 2 rail engines.  Just not enought interest to make the extra effort worth it.   Different wheelset, pilots, etc have to be ordered, plus more cataloging.  Its a lot more effort for literally a handful of customers per paint scheme.

Personally, I would love to see more 2 rail engines.  Believe me, at this point we are fortunate that Atlas is staying with 2 rail.     I can get MTH to do more freight cars in 2 rail, but so far thats it....

Thx for the GARX paint schemes.   Ubfortunately, those schemes are out of my wheelhouse , and I dont think i could sell more than a dozen or 2 of each.

And with all due respect, what i need are schemes that " you, and a bunch of your freinds" want, or from railroads that have historical societies, or clubs that follow them.

As much as I appreciate all the feedback, you just cant come to me and say "this is what I want..I'll buy 1 or 2."  

And where are all the west coast RR ppl?   There are some great shortline RR's out here, but sales of west coast stuff has been less than stellar....

Thx anyway tho....

Hi Beth,

I can't find the UP GP15s on your website. They might have failed to upload properly?
