Hopefully this means things aren't so dire!

Looks like a bunch of Walthers stuff. ;)

Is there a prototype for a..."RBL boxcar"?

Looks a lot like some ex-EL cars which could be found on CR...

The RBL could be big news for me if it's the same as the Moloco car.

They should ditch the GSC flat as the Athearn car is a much better model.

I think I've got it...

The former Walthers cars are FGE RBL cars, like the Moloco HO cars.

The Atlas cars are FGE RBLs too, but a different style, older design I think.

Nice to see the Greenville hoppers too.  Looking ahead, I'd love to see the cryo reefer updated.  Even more, I'd love to see Atlas do a 40' chop job on the Thrall well cars.

Geez, Ed.  Weren't you the one defending the manufacturers a few days ago?  ;)

Did Great Northern have a BSB Russel snow plow, or is this model pure fantasy?

Atlas commented on Facebook that the former Walthers tooling wasn’t affected by the Affa factory closure.
