Nice to see the RBL as new tooling.

Also, glad to see some details with a new 3D printing line. Hope this becomes a regular addition.

Are the Hooker and Monfort tank cars prototypical? I need more tank cars for the era between 1964 and 1972.

Monfort in Colorado was served by the ATSF? Am I right?

And the box cars are a great addition for the transition era during the change from 40' to 50'.

These look very nice. Is one of  the Wabash road numbers transposed?

I went over on Moloco's web site to see what some potential second and third releases of the 50' RBL's could be forthcoming.  There are some very interesting paint schemes yet to be done.  Take a look.

Found this, proving nothing, except Atlas got the door lettering right:

Not sure why this lingers as a vivid memory, just remember as a kid seeing a gaggle of CNJ trucks fixing a grade crossing on the old NYLB.....

A Halloween VO-1000 in time for Halloween...

Are we talking the EJE unit, or did I miss something?

Atlas Paul:  New tooling?  Then I will be even happier.  I thought these were the cars you acquired from Walthers, which were very close to the MILW's prototypes.  With a little upgrading, those were fine models, and I ordered one based on my misunderstanding.

Heck yea, Erie-Lackawanna purchased a few batches of these General American cars in the 60s.

If Atlas does not do this car for me, I will do it myself.  A lot of masking, but it can be done.

One of the Milwaukee boxes and a Milwaukee truck will work in my time frame, looking forward to this release
