I just looked through the new catalog. It can be found on a link on the right of their web page under "tweets". The catalog section has not been updated yet.

 

This is their Jan.-June 2015 Catalog. New F7 units! I am interested in the Santa Fe Warbonnet passenger scheme and the Rio Grande.Many other roads including Amtrak.  No new freight cars. Basically new runs of different freight cars. I am going to order the T&P 6 bay cylindrical hoppers and the Cotton Belt & Great Northern Trainman PS2 3 bay hoppers. 

 

Just thought you guys would want to know the new catalog is up.

I think it's a really healthy catalog for Atlas. I'm excited about it. I'll order some MP15's, 17,600 tank cars and the two CZ cars. I'm also looking into the dash 8's but haven't really made up my mind about it. I wish they would do more "new road numbers" for the tank cars just to have a longer and more prototypical train.

I just checked it.

 

The NSC Covered Coil Cars have different and more colorful schemes than the ones that come through on the CN and NS in Michigan.

 

There are MONON and SOO LINE ACF 70-Ton 2-bay Covered Hoppers.

 

The D&RGW bulkhead flat cars would be nice to have.

 

There are great ACF Cylindrical Hopper schemes

Seaboard System

Detroit & Toledo ShoreLine

 

Texas & Pacific

Wabash (new numbers)

 

I will have to think it over.

The Arrivals section is for items in the catalog from July-December 2014 that are arriving in January-June 2015. You will have to wait for it to arrive after June 2015.

 

 

NICe on the F7's At least the price is more reasonable than the competition and I know that Atlas O will do it right.[ at least better than my Lionel F7's with legacy.]

 

What I am confused on is the fine print for the 40' reefers:

 

All alternate history paint schemes.

 

So is Atlas O now going Faux paint schemes on their reefers?

 

Fortunately, I have to get TWO of the Altoona Beer reefers.[I hope they don't duplicate the Weaver/ JTS numbers!

 

the rest of them are colorful though!

I suspect the Sunset F7s will have been made and sold out long before Atlas gets an F7 into production. While the last year or so has seen a pretty steady delivery of rolling stock the diesels and Cal Zep cars have a very dismal record for delivery. I was disapointed Atlas had no new rolling stock anouncements,I also notice JDs Trains/AM Hobbies not on dealer list I thought they were one of the biggest dealers for Atlas,typo?[still waiting on GE-8s]

F-7's! I'm getting closer to my dream of an Atlas O ABA F-7 in B+LE Livery. I'm thinking Dave Minarak and I are probably the only ones that would buy a set. I'd love to duplicate the Kaylor engine house at the end. I need this motive power for all the hoppers sitting on my shelves. I may have to pre order an undecorated set to fulfill this need, though.

Oh man! me thinks I'm in for a set of Santa Fe ABBA F7's to head my soon to arrive GGD El Capitan Hi-Level's, they can't make too many warbonnet F's or any F's in my opinion. Between 3rd Rail, GGD, and Atlas, 2015 is shaping up to be another good year for those in O scale, not too good for the train budget though!

Jeff from JD's Trains/AM Hobbies is still an Atlas dealer.

AM Hobbies has a really cool special run of ATSF reefers shipping second quarter!

 

 

I see there are some new beer cars. Might have to get a couple of those. I remember Fox Head from when I was growing up. Also the ATSF reefers from AM Hobbies look good, but I'll have to take a look and see what I already have - seems to me I have some very similar cars from other manufacturers. 

 

I still wish they would do a Green Bay & Western bay window caboose to go with the GBW diesel they built several years ago!

Really?   I'm not aware of Amtrak owning any F7s.  They did buy all of SPs FP7s.

 

But no SP MP15s, that is dumb.

Well, the CZ observation cars in 3-rail have a $180 MSRP, and The Public Delivery Track has them on their website for $150.  So that's roughly a 17% discount off MSRP.  Should be interesting to see if that holds across the product line.  Funny how the passenger car prices don't seem THAT out if line... But the freight cars?  WOW!!!  

 

In any event, I guess I picked a great time to switch interests... 'Cause I could never enjoy buying at some of these insane 2015 catalog price-points knowing how over-inflated the prices have become compared to several years ago.    Somebody in the supply chain is making good money here!     And consumers are footing the bill big-time!!!

100-107 were F-7s, from BN, all ex-NP. All off roster October 75. 110-123 were ex-SP FP-7s, they lasted until '76, 150-164 were the B's mostly F-7, 2 were F-3B; a combination of BN (both GN and NP) and SP. The B's went at varying times in '75.
