Curious, was there any news from AtlasO at York? New products? New Diesel Locomotives? New Rolling Stock?

Chances are NO since Atlas O will be displaying those models already announced from May to Sept.

Only announcement was 2 new Cal Zephyr cars that had conductor windows added to existing style domes

Basically the "holding pattern" speech. Next CZ car is the diner, which is in tooling now. Eventually they'll make engines again. Trainman engines are going to be getting ERR cruise and smoke.

Thats really all they said.

For what it's worth, I had a chance to chat with Jerry and Rob from Atlas for a couple minutes about 53' double stack well cars.  They appeared to be very aware of these, and even asked me whether I'd prefer the 3-unit articulated cars vs. stand-alone.  As we discussed, it appeared as though they had dome some homework on the market and demand for such cars and containers and were at least considering this type of model.  Obviously not a new product announcement, but I took some hope from the conversation.

Thanks for the update. I think I am not alone among intermodal modelers in wanting three-unit cars, not single units. RM

The display wasags parse. I didn't linger there more than minute. They weren't even displaying the Trainman cars that have been promised.

But remember:  Their market isn't just 0 -- that may have been part of a 'homework assignment' for HO....

 

Best rgds, SZ

they already have both 3 unit and single cars in HO

Atlas O has to hold a vote on the new Intermodal selections using their website, twitter, and facebook, in order to be able to gauge the market.
