Atlas Fall Catalog

[Bob Bufkin]

It was just posted on their site.  Haven't looked at it yet.

Appears that they left the page with the N GP40-2W announcement out... must be some late night editing.

Nothing new for N*, just repaints and numbers.

They decided to replace it with the all new Atlas Lima LS-750!

Woo hoo!  Seaboard System B30-7s in three road numbers!  This moves us a lot closer to the release of SBD B36-7s.  You can't properly model the Orange Blossom Special in the mid-eighties without B36-7s.

Dave,

what the heck was the orange blossom express in the 80s? ;D

Brought this to mind:

Not exactly brimming with surprises

[asarge]

Nada for me. That ok, though. Remember these are not the only things they will announce the next 3 months. Besides even if they were, there should be plenty of new announcements from competitiors over the next month or so. Already had a few goodies announced.

Maybe one year they will fix those darn PDF files.

Mark,

You've got the right idea.  The Orange Blossom Special was a Seaboard Airline passenger train, which was the inspiration for the song.  In the 1980s, Chessie System and Seaboard System reincarnated the name for a new priority TOFC train hauling perishables from Florida to New Jersey, which looked something like this (of course, south of Richmond, Virginia, it usually ran with Seaboard System power on the point):

I'll second Dave's comments. So glad to see more SBD locos.......

A second release of the 25.5k tanks BEFORE the first arrives???

Come on, Sanda Kan!

I'm waiting on the first run 20,700s. The slackers havent shipped it yet and it's due in this month!
(I can wait though)

[GaryHinshaw]

I think it's another run of the 23.5 K tankers Lou.  The new Thrall gon and the two new tankers (20.7 & 25.5 K) seem to be stuck.  Their dates have all slipped by 1-2 months in the A-Z schedule on the Atlas site.

Just as well for my wallet which is still reeling from recent runs of ACE's, 70M's, Auto-Max's, 5161's, and still anticipating GEVO's, LPG tankers, spines, TTZX center-beams, Dash-9's, and who knows what else.   :
