Maybe it's that U50 they were rumoring a dozen years ago.  :trollface:

If I read it right, this is a project in both HO and N scales.  So, my best guess is some modern freight car that I won't have a use for.  But...if they want to surprise me with a Santa Fe steam loco, or a 1940-ish gondola, or a resurrection of the old MDC palace cars, that would be fine with me.

I have a mind like a steel trap...a VERY rusty, old steel trap.

Oh man, that wouldn't suck.

But I think Atlas is still digesting Walthers.

Hopefully it's their California Surfliners to go with the F59 they announced last year.

I'm no PRR expert, but it strikes me odd that the 50' PS1 is in the circle-keystone scheme with a build date of 1957.  I thought that shadow-keystone was standard as of around 1955.

Were any 50' PS-1 ever painted circle-keystone?

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.

What? Another coil car? Us old fart '60s/'70s modeler get ignored yet again.

At least Atlas is doing the 45's. Now if ScaleTrains gets off their collective duffs and ports the GP30 to N, I'll be happy (and broke) for a good long while.
