Attention valued Atlas customers,
In spite of our best efforts to maintain quality control at Atlas, on rare occasions a mistake can sneak past us as we just discovered on our Norfolk & Western 60’ Hy-Cube box car item #8633 and #9633. The prototype for this particular N&W paint scheme was brown instead of black. These cars were delivered to N&W in black with the stylized “NW” herald in place of the current road name lettering.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Please note that we do plan on producing the brown Norfolk & Western car again in the future.
If you reserved this car and no longer wish to purchase it, please inform your authorized Atlas Dealer. Customers who have already purchased the car have the discretion of returning it to their dealers for a refund. Please note that there were less than 50 models made of each car in 2 and 3-Rail making this an instant collector’s item!
Thanks for your continued support,
Atlas
