The Atlas RS11, 45' Trailers ands the Trash train cars are on their way to Dealers.

It's about time there was another run of the RS11's

What a load of garbage!!!!!!!

Did Atlas cut back on some of RS-11's with this shipment?  Looks like some are missing.....or is that a possible old listing on their site??

Looks like they driopped the KB&S....at least it's not on the listing of what shipped.

Nope, nothing was cut back, the shipment was split in two. The other half should be in stores in about a month.

Enough of such reason and transparancy!

Well, $84 street price, I am not impressed.  The KBS would be fun to pick up as I used to be friends with a guy who worked there.  But not at that price.  I would rather spend my money on other engines with a better value for the dollar.

Given the problems with manufacturing in China over the last year or two, plus increased labour costs over there, I'd say that's a pretty good deal.

I am. I want an RS11. Value is perceived, you evidently don't want a KBS unit as bad as I want a CNW one. Matter of fact, I would have bought one in any road and repainted it. I think it would be cool to have a Great Northern Hustle Muscle SD45, but I'm not interested in it enough to pay the price. I would rather spend my money on something that has more value to me, like a CNW RS11.

And still no coil car and the years half gone-so much for the "first quarter of 2012" quote.

Is it vaporware? 

Is it on a slow sail powered Chinese junket?

There are pics in the Model 160 Medford show update . . .

Trash cars received!!!   No garbage smell - just new plastic smell!!! 

Question, is anyone planning to slightly ream out the holes for the trash containers so they can be removed or just force them in or glue them down. I've never seen these cars empty - in fact I doubt they ever are except at their destinations.

Considering first quarter ended in March, doesn't that mean its only one quarter late?
