Paul they look great!   Is the IHB car a new addition, I just don't remember it in the original announcement?

Those look great. Will the end tack boards for cars like the Rutland and BCK be easy to relocate or are they pretty well glued in place?

Thanks again for these models.  I can't wait for the 6' door undecs.

Are those metal wheels on that PS1 or do I need glasses?

Can you tell me what the built date is on the KCS coil cars? Thanks for any help.


Hmm... don't you regret
shutting down the Atlas
forums just a little bit...?

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.

I disagree.  Social media are a great way to advertise. Facebook shouldn't be the only way, but it is a great way to get a lot of traffic in a short time without having to send out e-mails or wait for people to happen by their website.

I recognize many people don't do social media for their own reasons, but with so much of the world on Facebook they'd be stupid not to leverage it.

I won't engage in an argument of the virtues and vices of Facebook and Twitter.  I'm simply articulating the undeniable fact that they are extremely popular right now and any company choosing not to play along puts itself at risk of missing a large audience.

Whether ditching the forum was a good idea or not is the subject for another, and hopefully closed, argument.

If it makes you feel any better, the photos are up on our website too.

If it's on Facebook, it's on the website and vise versa.

Jason, unfortunately, the end placards are not movable (without some work at least). We had to use posts on the ends to mount them securely enough to withstand UPS.

^^Agreed.  Besides, they still run print ads in the mags.  You just won't get the info at your fingers.

Yes, the sample had them, and the announcement says they will be equipped as such.
