Betting on how many hours after these come out before Richie does something cool with one of them:

I'd say any questions about the drive mechanism have been put to rest.

Ed,

I'd say that the over-under on Richie rebuilding an Atlas 4-4-0 is about two hours after release.  ;)

I'm takin three hours; one to get up off the floor from the news Atlas is making a steamer....(and don't get me started about why a 19th century American when there are more modern steamers begging to be made...)

Haha , don't know on the speed of mod or if a mod is needed at all , but I will be sure to get one or two . Might just need to add decals for the Casey's Scenic RR one , the UP had plenty of plain Jane's in a basic black dress . I will have to look into a book I have that covers that era of UP steam . Surly one will be close enough , and if not , it will be by the time I'm done . I helps to have altitude challenged standards . I am hopeful that this will be a great puller , and if it is Chris will turn it into something odd or something Erie .

Surprised they didn't have a B&O in the first run.

I was thinking the same thing when I read your post. Just don't let Cris or Randy get a hold of one.

Poor Victor, no Atlantic yet.

So they officially announced?

They look pretty good stock.

I plan to pop out the plastic spokes and replace with 3 or 4 layers of etched brass.

The price was kind of shocking... $120 MSRP will give it an $80 street price. That is pretty damn good.

I am curious what the hell they were thinking about those spokes. That screams Trainman all the way.

I'm down for 1 or 2 of them! use one for a little excursion train, and beat the crap for another logger. 4-4-0s didn't last long as loggers, but they were out there. Pretty much loggers used any used loco they could get their hands on!

Probably only save $5 if motor was left out... is it really worth it?
