Neat. Those CP boxcars. Those are good (scheme and body wise) for the mid 80s, right? I figure I've gotta have something to haul all that paper from Kanto.

the FGE wooden reefers, when are they good for?  Are they reasonably accurate?

Still no Dash 8-32BWH rerun in N scale in Amtrak Phase Vb paint. I still want a couple for my Coast Starlight.

Reasonably so; these would work postwar to early/mid 1950s.

Aw sh!t, I need all three FGEs!  They ran in blocks on the PRR Middle Division in the 50s,

...looks like Atlas visited the Railroad Museum of PA:

Nice to see 3 and 6 packs in the Top Gons.  Wish we would see a totally new Atlas loco instead of new paint schemes and new numbers. A U33 or U36 would be welcome. A CF7?

So, Atlas,  what does a Quebec Central box look like ?

Didn't Intermountain do this car as well or is the Atlas car different? I can't recall. And wasn't there a 'refrigerator' version also?

If you're asking me I don't know.  I think @Kisatchie is our resident Intermountain refrigerator car guru.

Yes, I recall jbritton talking about this car. I tried to go back to the a-board, but the search function wasn't working for me. I recall him saying the IM car was the correct version, but looking at the proto picture (if correct) it seems like a match to the Atlas car to me. I see the IM version doesn't have the hardware painted black, but don't know if there are other differences.
