Wanted: Atlas 40' Army flats

V VeloTrainOGR Forum Member

I'm looking for 1 or 2 of these, gently used / weathered is fine, and I have no need for any loads, as these are for a custom load project - a B-25 being taken to the Maritimes for final assembly before being flown to Europe.  Totally fictional, but possibly plausable with severe winter weather conditions across the plains.  I have a 52' version for the fuselage (tight fit - might need to keep the "nose-cone" separate), and do realize that this car was built well post-war.  This is largely for the challenge / pleasure of designing and building the mounting.  If I'm allowed to post my email, it's my userid at yahoo.  

 

thanks, Charles

Call Beth at Public Delivery Track.  She has/had them in 2 rail scale.  I forget if hers were Atlas or Weaver.  They had loads but the loads pop off very easily.  I'm not real sure but I think I paid about $69.00 per car.  I think they may have been 50 footers.  They are very nice.  If you are going to York call her and have her bring them to York (save on shipping).

Thanks, Rick - But that's where I got my 52'ers (they're ~ $45 now), and as I posted I'm only looking for the 40'ers at this point.  Weaver has announced a 40' Air Force car, which will be my back-up if I can't find the Atlas 40'.   I gather many (all?) of them came with tank loads, and some guys bought really long trains, so I don't think there are any hiding somewhere unsold.
