[Ed Kapuscinski]

All too modern for me, but possibly not for you!

The Atlas Cements cars have dates starting in 1972, let us know how you fair.

Ah crap. Although, for my layout, cement means Lehigh Cement. Although the NAHX cars might fit in.

What is the era on these? How far back in modern do they go and are they still running today?

[Spikre]

 
  the NAHX PD cars date to at least 1970,possibly slightly earlier.
  they were Patented so do a Patent search for the earliest date
  that turns up.
   recently built big versions roll into Richmond every week,but not
  sure about the smaller 3000 CUFT cars ?

Here's TrainWorx link to each roadname with build dates, http://www.train-worx.com/pd3000.htm

Most of the cars in the paint schemes released by Trainworx have build dates 1975-Later, a handful and I mean like 2 or 3 are 1969/1972 (Ideal White Cement/Blue Circle Cement/Atlas Concrete). The Penn Central was 1975 *nudge nudge* @Ed Kapuscinski.

You can view the full lineup here: http://www.train-worx.com/pd3000.htm (Looks like Phil beat me to it.)

Gotta give Trainworx credit, I really appreciate they post build dates on their listings, makes it so much easier than scouring pictures of products to look at a blurry build/rebuild dates.

The PC car is 8/74 (I model 1975 so this stuff is important to me  ).

The dates on the announcement are kinda vague, best to look at pics on a site like MTS to get the actual dates.
