I am really excited about the release.  Now my late-40s steam railroad will finally have some appropriate steel cabooses to use!!!  Heck, I might even have to kitbash a couple of the Norfolk Southern RR's longer version as well.

Here's another one I just ran across.  Are these new?

Wonder how many other new products we'll see this week because of the convention?

Hi Bob,

Yes, they are a model of the Magor caboose, as indicated by the Atlas site:

"The first all-steel cabooses built for the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad were produced in 1937 by the Magor Car Corporation in Clifton, N.J. Magor, along with St. Louis Car Company and ACF, ultimately built a total of 350 cabooses for the C&O using a similar design. The last were produced in 1949. Through subsequent rebuilding and modernization, many remained in service through the end of regular caboose usage in the 1980s. Cabooses of a similar design were also built for Pere Marquette, Missouri Pacific and Chicago & Eastern Illinois."

Lee could probably use a few of those P&LE's on the west end of his system.

Brokemoto's the one salivating over the P&LE Geeps, Expect he'll want the lightning stripe version, too.  ;D ;D ;D
