Atlas 2nd QTR Announcements [coming soon?]

[wm3798]

Mmmm.  WM round herald flat car... I feel a weathering project coming on...
PC flat looks good...  and PC gets a second entry in the FGE car...

And I bet the M&O could use a C&O U-boat!, maybe a Seaboard one, too... None for me, though thank you...

More FGE cars in CR and CSX for me. I may get a Guilford unit as well.

[Ed Kapuscinski]

Oh man, I just bought a bunch of REAL Reading stuff, but now I kinda want those R&N units too.

Dammit, at this rate I'm NEVER buy a house!

It's funny, because I was about to send Atlas a bunch of links to photos of the USDA car...

I'd like to see the Thrall gons and the new tank cars from Atlas...

It might be nice to see a curved turnout or two from them in the code 55 line.

You can give US links to that USDA car! I'm curious about it, what was it used for, when was it used, etc?

Oh, crap...

I think I'm coming down with that late PC/early CR bug again...!  My wife would kill me, though...

[Ed Kapuscinski]

You think you are? I've spent $100 on Reading stuff to paint out in the past month.

Sadly, ConrailWinter79-85.com just doesn't have the same ring to it.

But you could convert your layout in a snap, just close the industries, board up a couple of the houses, and use a ball peen hammer to give your track that PC "patina."

Now was PC really that bad?

I think I managed to dodge all the bullets - my wallet may emerge unscathed!

GP15-1's coming in October apparently, including Conrail...

Also of interest in the HO section are more 5701 plastics hoppers coming...

Don't forget to derail all the cars sitting in the yard... and for added realism, loose a car or to while your at it.

I remember reading some years back about an ex PC baggage car they found setting in a siding I think near Aberdeen.  It was full of Xmas packages and had been there for several years and forgot about.
