Just was talking with Atlas, and the following are expected to arrive in about a month....

- 40' and 45' containers

- PS4427 covered hoppers

- 70ton 3 bay 40' hopper cars  --Including our special run of Morristown and Erie hopper cars

- Bay Window Cabooses

- F-3's

We have everything available for pre-order, except for the F-3's.  If u want to pre-order F-3's, we can still get them.  just email us. pdt212@gmail.com.  There are just so many variations....I decided not to drive myself crazy with F units.

Also just put up the latest Atlas 50' 6" box cars for pre-order.  They were announced right around christmas, so easy to have overlooked.

Lionel/Weaver.   The Lionel former weaver cars we are able to convert to 2 rail, so they are available on the website in 2 rail now.   While Lionel advertises the "Lionelscale" cars (fmr weaver ultraline) as easily convertible to 2 rail, they dont have any 2 rail trucks available for sale. Just conversion kits, which I'm betting are a PITA to use.  I'm really low on old weaver 2 rail sprung diecast trucks...trying to get Weaver style diecast 2 rail trucks from Atlas.    The former Weaver B60 baggage cars and 60' RPO's were expensive enough at 159.95 retail...but the 2019 catalog has them at 179.95!  This is just a bit much for a baggage car. IMHO, so we are holding of on the 2019 versions.  The 2017 and 2018 releases we have in stock, and we can convert them to 2 rail.

Thanks,

beth

I'm trying to get Atlas to put these cars on the front burner, but there have been a lot of road blocks. I would do them with MTH, but they dont have a hopper car or rivited tank car thats highly detailed.  Some of the MTH stuff is great...just those 2 mth cars are old designs, from before the concentration on detailing.  The Lionel GLa hopper car is nice, but more difficult to deal with them, no 2 rail, and price would be about the same as Atlas anyway.

I'd say if I can get them done within a year, that would be good, tbh.  Wish the process was easier/smoother, and didnt require all the money up front.

Beth,

Thank you for the updates on this site,it's VERY HELPFUL AND ENCOURAGING.

Are the 4427 cvd hoppers from Atlas,the ones that have  CSX,Conrail,BNSF and Santa Fe cars in? Do these cars come in 4 roadnumbers?

How about the 4750 hoppers? Is Atlas ever going to do any new roadnames or release new car numbers in existing roadnames like CSX? Atlas needs to offer more roadnumbers for their cars,IMO. Has anyone at Atlas ever mentioned these cars?

Thank you.

Alan Hummel
