Wrapped up the support on the new Trainman Long Island commuter coaches reciently with Atlas O.

Wow, you Long Island fans are in for a treat!

The new passenger coaches with extra cars look very nice.

Considering they are Trainman, I think you will be pleased with the final result.

There will also be a special surprise as well.

That’s all I can say for now so please, no questions.

Atlas will announce the LIRR cars soon, so stay tuned.

If you have the C420 or RS AlCo series diesels, don’t miss out on buying these cars.

I hope they improved those train man trucks. The first sets were garbage. Had the lackawanna and CNj cars. Sold them all off

Thanks for the heads up!

In your photo #20 please tell me the make and model of the car with the "porthole" style round window in the door?

I remember riding on cars like that during the very early 60's (like 60-62) and would like to track some down.

Thanks!

Hi Jon, those are Lionel MU’s. I re-painted a reading 2 car set.

No one markets that style MU. The doors were made using thin mylar.

I cut rectangles from a clear mylar window sheet. Placed a round sticker as the window and sprayed them with grey primer or orange over it. Removed round sticker and you have the other type of door. Just glue it over the existing door.

Take a thin black marker and trace around the window to make the rubber seal.
