Am I seeing cushioned under frame?

You're definitely seeing extended draft gear . . . .  . . .

I think you are seeing a HO version   http://www.atlasrr.com/hofreight/honsc50pdbc1.htm#.VNPKLZ3F_NM

These still may be equipped with cushioned underframes, given that the couplers will be body-mounted.

I'm relatively excited about these. While not home road, they look like good cars to have in the fleet.

Are the announced CN schemes accurate for the mid 80s?

Wow!!!!!!!

Although two years to late for me these will sell like hot cakes - they are as common as dirt for late 70's - 2000 and beyond modellers. The CN scheme would have been seen in the 80's and early - mid 90's Ed although some may have gotten some repaints I think that was into the "web" address era...

Nice score Atlas!!!!!

These are great!  Plus, I'm ecstatic to see a new Atlas model in N scale.  Things have come a long way in a few years.  Thankfully.

Here's one, says NEW 1/80 taken 3/22/1981 and appears to be in the as-announced scheme.  Of course, I've been wrong before...

And, looks like the scheme is good until at least 2007 2010 from what I've seen so far.

I'm pretty excited about these too.  I'm in for one CNIS and one GTW for sure.

[davefoxx]

Thanks for that pic.  I'm digging the CN and the GT cars.

Awesome. Thanks guys.

What? MORE Canadian prototypes in N? Should I laugh or cry?

You've got inside info?  The page says nothing about body mounting.

They look body mounted to me.

Edit: then again, that could be because it's the HO model in the pic. I hate when they do that.

Whether I have inside info or not — every new model they've released in the last few years has been equipped with body-mounted couplers.  They aren't going to move backwards in terms of model design.

@Atlas Paul is a member here...all of us *should* have inside info.
