December Atlas N Announcements.

[Dave V]

Oh you and your rhetoric Dave.   


Jason

Ah, yes, but you will note I do not pass judgement or "take sides."     My personal opinions are irrelevant to what's going to happen so I generally keep them to myself.  Besides, come January 20th I will have a new Commander-in-Chief (as I'm still on active duty) and my First Amendment rights are actually somewhat abridged from those of the civilian population.  That...and there's Railwire policy.

Either way I suspect our economic relationship with China will get more complicated no matter what legislation is passed or not.

Oh you and your rhetoric Dave.

"Our economic relationship with China will get more complicated" has been in play for some time now.   But hey...let's blame the increase in the price of our model trains on the president-elect, yeah, that's the ticket!

I mean, "without trying to start anything political". 

[GaryHinshaw]

The PD hoppers are fantastic.  Next up: spine cars and details parts!?

Who's doing that?  I didn't say anything about the current increase in prices being connected to the president-elect.  They're mainly due--from what little I understand about the problem--to changes in wages and manufacturing costs in China.  Nevertheless, the president-elect ran on a platform primarily based on changing trade pacts and imposing tariffs, so yeah...I expect some things to happen with the cost of anything made in China.   

[Englewood]

Still waiting on the spine cars. After all, Trainworx and all that...

[Dave V]

I've been waiting on the 40' wood FGE reefers that were supposed to arrive third quarter 2016.

@Cory Rothlisberger probably took them with him when he left.

[OldEastRR]

Hopefully they'll run some pre-Mcginnis NH paint scheme.

[up1950s]

Two UP jeeps for me , glad it wasn't UP GP-9B's or I would have been compelled to buy 10 or more .

[Ngineer]

When were those FMC 5077 double door box cars first built and introduced? What is the built date of those box cars offered by Atlas?

Atlas forgot to put that information on their website. The the two panel consolidated stencil is a hint, but I would like to know the exact dates.

When was that Western Pacific paint scheme introduced?

Can somebody please help me?

You're referring to the NE5?  Second batch probably.  There are as many NE5 New Haven schemes as there are NE6 schemes.  They all will be released eventually.

Hopefully the pre-McGinnis B&M buggies will be in that batch as well.
