New Atlas Catalog is up.

This could be a first, nothing for me for the rest of the year.

Curious that they're doing 'Alternative History' cars before doing all the original owners on the 1932 box car.

Does anyone know the story with the PC centerflow?

I didn't realize they had those cars, or is that also an "alternate history" car?

[arbomambo]

ehhhh...

nothing to see here....

I think the PC car is.. sorta correct.. there are a couple of shots of High CUFT ACF 4 bay grain hoppers in the Morning Sun Conrail Freight car book.. Also one of the Ethanol plants in Iowa was using CR/PC/NYC hoppers of this type for their DDG loading. 

I think it's close enough body type.. expanding on the old ACF tooling where they did NYC and Conrail Malt loading schemes.. This body style is closer to correct than the old version.  (Well by closer to correct.. I mean Grain gates and top hatches instead of pellet)

I hope they expand on these schemes.  (I think Chessie was another road to have lots of these.)

PRR Alternate History scheme? My curiosity is piqued. Any photos of what this scheme looks like? @Atlas Paul , @Cory Rothlisberger ?

I'm in for the 3 DODX flat cars

No Hart ballast cars or 70 ton friction bearing trucks either...

I see a lot of 20700 gallon tank cars being added to my fleet, along with a few other things the WM 40' boxcar being one.

[Rich_S]

A Union Caboose, thank you Atlas. Although not 100% accurate, they have been added to my list.

[sundowner]

Not much for me, maybe the TTX and FEC flats.

Oh my, finally!

Atlas is doing another run of the BN rotary flag triple hopper...one of the most prolific and ubiquitous freight cars in North America over the past 30 years.   (Sure, it's a Trainman car and not an exact prototype by any means, but sort of "all we got" in N...along with the sporadic MTL releases.)   The car they swear doesn't sell well, yet never lasts more than about 3 weeks "in the wild" after release, (of which there have been exactly TWO in the 17 years I have been back in N-scale) and is hardly ever seen at shows or on eBay.    I wish they would dump their excess at clearance prices, yet I've not seen that either....guess they just throw 'em in a pile and set them on fire. 

[Pathtimber]

I see four tank cars joining the fleet, almost doubles how many I have.

1970's tank cars aren't really common models.

I also get a chance on some boxcars I missed the first couple rounds before.

Did some quick perusing of RRPicArch... just to see if any of the 5x00 series cars would be of interest.   Figured I'd share.  Some of the pics may not be exact numbers or even exact cars.  Try to get the closest in the number series.

Not an alt hist whatever that means, not sure how accurate (don't think the Atlas car has that horizontal rib):
