LI Double ARRR……….Atlas Trainman Commuter Cars
As shown in the catalog on 4/2/15 we will have some LIRR commuter coaches by Atlas O Trainman.
I worked out some details with Rob P. at Atlas on these and they will be very nice!
So if you guys have a C420 sitting around doing nothing, here you go.
These cars will also look good behind the Alco RS 1 & 3 series diesels by Atlas and MTH.
As most LIRR fans know, the LIRR had very custom and specific commuter cars and cabooses.
No one other than Islandmodelworks so far has reproduced correct commuter cars for the line along the old Staten Island SIRT MU’s.
Other companies are missing out on big sales by not producing them.
Without doing new tooling, these Atlas cars will satisfy most of the 3r Long Island fans for now who like LIRR cars in true O.
It’s nice to know we can work with a supplier to improve some of the details and look of a product.
Looking forward to these in several numbers!

, the end coach probably will need chains and the door cut out as well.
