Neville, 

The Ford pickups shown on the Atlas web site were released in February.  https://www.therailwire.net/forum/index.php?topic=44068.0 and http://nscalevehicles.org/news.php

However, as Paul posted, that was only half of the production run.

Carter,

While I was aware that only a portion of the production run of N Scale Ford F-100 pickups were released in February, Atlas is re-running the undecorated models and producing six additional paint color schemes.

The Atlas website indicates a guaranteed pre-order date of April 18, 2018 for the product announcements listed in the March 2018 All-Scales Monthly Catalog (i.e., "ASMC").

Viewing the Atlas Ford F-100 website page shows the 60 000 090 undecorated, 60 000 092 Wind Blue, and 60 000 095 Sequoia Brown/Wimbledon White pickups with pre-order icons.

The original pre-order closing date for the batch of models that have arrived and the ones that are still due was July 12, 2017.

According to page 35 of the Atlas March 2018 ASMC, the following Ford F-100 pickups are arriving on 3/5/18 and shipping from Atlas on 3/12/18:

60 000 090 Undecorated

60 000 091 Candy Apple Red

60 000 092 Wind Blue

60 000 093 Winter Green

60 000 094 Mallard Green/Wimbledon White

60 000 095 Sequoia Brown/Wimbledon White

Wonder if listing the 60 000 092 Wind Blue and 60 000 095 Sequoia Brown/Wimbledon White pickups as pre-order items was an inadvertent error?

Pages 14 and 15 of the March 2018 ASMC show a re-release of the 60 000 090 undecorated model, along with four new single body color paint schemes and a pair of new two-tone body color schemes.

60 000 111 Raven Black

60 000 112 Wimbledon White

60 000 113 Sequoia Brown

60 000 114 MOW Yellow

60 000 115 Candy Apple Red/Wimbledon White

60 000 116 Wimbledon White/Winter Green





You'll want to post the information on the new Ford F-100 releases on the nscalevehicles.org website.

There was a wrong entry in the database that we are correcting. The new colors should show up on the correct page in a little while.

[cfritschle]

Thank you Paul and Neville for the clarification.  I was hoping this was indeed the announcement for the additional colors.   

Edit:  I am traveling this week on business, so keeping up with new announcements has been a challenge!

Been so long!!!

I MISS THE OLD ATLAS WEBSITE. I REALLY DO.

Why?

E.g. the old website gave me information on the build date.

I rely on the build date as I don't know exacty when paint schemes changed, the ADM logo went from molecule to leaf (or was it the other way round?), and so on. With the Internet getting more and more important, I cannot understand why website information is getting worse instead of better. To add the build dates is just a few keystrokes, so why don't manufacturers do it?

YMMV.

The price jump in the Alco units is alarming.

If you download the monthly catalog http://download.atlasrr.com/0318MCPDF/ASMC_MAR18MSRP.pdf you can zoom in on the artwork for the cars to read the "new" dates.
For example, it's '4-91' for the ADM molecule car.

Thans a lot for your help!
