Any labeled BLMA product in the Atlas booth?

I may have to get the Nucor cars to go with the Nucor coil steel cars I got (My wife works for Skyline Steel, a Nucor subsidy).

Do you know if Atlas has a new catalog?

I'm pretty sure Paul mentioned hoping to have the new catalog at the show.  Maybe it will release on the web site next week.

There is a January-June 2016 on the Atlas web site now.  http://www.atlasrr.com/catalog.htm

It's setup-day, so not everything had been put out.

The Atlas catalogs are here, but they were not out.

Also, Arnold has the Sw1 and U25C schemes on display. U28C not here, but production models are about six weeks out. Saw the Rapido booth but no product out. Didn't wander out of Mallary, just getting set up for tomorrow.

I'm sure attendees tomorrow will add to this thread.

The NSC boxcars are about all that tickles my fancy. Still no GP40-2W.

For those wining about the lack of 60's era cars:

FVM is making the PS 4K coal gon. Can't wait to stencil these into oblivion! Should be fun to make scrap loads for.

These????

[RSWController]

I would enjoy these in Detroit Edison silver and yellow. Although I'm sure they wouldn't be 100% accurate as I think the prototype is unique, they would be close enough for me.

I know heavy ore is carried this way, especially lead and zinc.
