AtlasO new catalog

That's the only irking thing I have about all of my Atlas PS-1's.  And, I have more than I can remember.

 

Fred

It certainly would!

 

What's going on with their track - does anyone really know?  Does anyone from Atlas check into this forum from time to time?

 

Seems we would be a great resource for them as most here are fans of and support Atlas products.

The 40' reefers look interesting; I can always use another CN&W piece of rolling stock...

Still no PRR F3As or Bs.  I guess I will not be buying any AtlasO again this year.

Money will be tight this year (rebuilding the layout), so while I would really like to have the Bethlehem Steel set, I'll probably shoot for a coil car and one of the 17,600 tankers.

Actually Paul Graf from Atlas posts on this forum occasionally, I suspect some one monitors the forum on a regular basis.

I thought I was done for the year after ordering the B&LE and DMIR SD9's from 3rd Rail and now I see all the Union RR and US Steel items from Atlas.  I'm going to have to sell some items to purchase these Atlas products that I REALLY want.  I wouldn't be surprised if Dave Minarik of Mercer Junction had a hand in lobbying Atlas for these products.

Like what, Ed?

I am in for the Trinity tank cars in Southern Pacific...might get two sets...

The Sunset F7's will be here in April 2015 and  AtlasO's  F7's are due 4th quarter 2015.

 

so I don't see a problem for either mfg. when it comes to selling their F7's.

 

Having another ABA of F3's from AtlasO I'll go with mfg. I am familiar with. 

 

I have also been waiting for the Milwaukee RPO car for a long, long time. Don

I was super excited to see all the coil car options until I realized they weren't offering any with ArcelorMittal on them. ArcelorMittal is one of the largest steel producers in the US and the largest in the world. Wish we could have gotten a few with that paint scheme. But I work for them so I'm biased 

I guess I missed it last night, upon closer review, I noticed the CNW Passenger cars.  I'm thinking about ordering a few of those coaches because they might be nice paired with Lionel's CNW 1385 ten wheeler.  I'm hoping Lionel brings some production samples of those 10 wheelers to the Spring York meet for display and demonstration.

Does anyone know if the Altoona and Old Reading reefers are prototypical or are they fantasy schemes?

 

Thanks,

 

Greg

I wanted a set of PFE reefers, but not at that price!  Ouch...

I think this is a great time for us to push Atlas to improve the fuel tank on their F units, especially because this is impossible to fix on itself, one has to get a tank from a different manufacturer (lionel or mth). Some other things like the size of the classification lights (too big) and the thickness of the grabs and the truck air lines (too thick) would be nice but they are user fixable.

 

 

 

 

The Atlas TRACK is now a track catalog, and they have had to move the production.

Seems like the new catalog is drawing lots of interest here.  And where is everyone going to place their orders??  Who's your reliable source for Atlas O?

 

- Mike 

The Curve Beer is a fantasy car.

Norm

I would like to get the Rio Grande F7's. JD/AM hobbies is a good source along with the public delivery track.

Thanks Norm. I have nothing against fantasy schemes it's just that on my small layout it's tough to find room as it is.

I second that I buy all my Atlas from Jeff at JDS Trains/AM Hobbies [calling beats Emailing]

Do both keep their website up to date?
