These will be great, but just out of my timeframe, given that they are doing the second or third version of the PS2 (at least, according to the photo of the end of the car). But I will pick up a couple in the undec kit form when the undecs become available, and try to backdate them to the original version.  (the main visual difference being that the early production PS-2's had a different end rib similar to the AAR design they built prior to PS-2 production)

I have a mind like a steel trap...a VERY rusty, old steel trap.

Hopefully they tooled it in a way to make it a ballast car...

Is this the same car as the Atlas tooling?
Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.

Same prototype, yes. But a welcome upgrade to the three-decade-old Altas model.
