Yup, a new car type in N scale, not shown in the current quarter's Atlas catalog. A great car for the steam era guys, the 1932 ARA boxcar, which they are also making in HO.

I will have to get one of these:



and probably a couple of others as well...

With all these steam era cars, when do we get an Atlas steam locomotive? (Other than a Shay.)

If only they'd shrink that PRR E6 4-4-2 they do in 3-rail down to N, I might be pulled back to keystone country from the brink of Conrail...!

Mmmm... finger lickin' good. :D

I'm really glad that Atlas decided to do some MoP cars for this release, especially the I-GN, which was one of their two primary Texas lines. ;)

Btw, where is Warrior River Terminal Co?

Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.
"It works! It works!"

Yes, Murphy Panel roof & 4/4 Dreadnaught ends, or 11 panel flat riveted roof & flat riveted ends.

All around, lots of steam-era deliciousness.

Slap on a Viking roof, and I have a nice staple of the Norfolk Southern fleet.  Now I just have to figure out which ends I need.

Except for the doors, the roof and the ends these might be usable.  ;)  

It's really amazing how many combinations were made out of the 'standard'.  I happy for those for which these cars are correct. There is still so many 40' boxes that could be done (apart from just door sizes).  Hopefully Atlas will continue with with these cars, maybe a PS-0!? Yeah right...

Btw, where is Warrior River Terminal Co?

The Warrior River Terminal is now part of the Birmingham Southern. Note the US Government seal. The WRT was Federal Barge Lines' rail connection from its Warrior River barge terminal to Birmingham's steel mills. Federal Barge Lines was created to compete with the railroads by Uncle Sam.  I rode this line on a special train about 15-20 years ago as part of a Southeast Association of Rail Shippers meeting.
