New Atlas Catalog Has Been Uploaded

An E-L U23B?  Since it fits my "alternate history" pretty well, I may have to order one...

IMHO the best part is the designation of "Alternate History Paint scheme" on the foobies. Sort of cuts out the "they should have know better debate."

I don't often have a problem with plausible "alternate history" schemes, but an SD24 in SP bugs me. I guess it's from growing up with SP. If they had the resources to buy SD24s in the years it was cataloged (...they didn't...), they would've had the money to also possibly bought more Alcos and kept Alco alive, there wouldn't have been the K-M program, they wouldn't have been so desperate to gorge on SD45s, etc., etc., etc. IOW, at least to me, SP SD24s alter the time line in such a way that would have completely changed the complexion of the railroad in the '60s and '70s. The mind reels.

Looks like I'll be buying my first sound unit.  The Soo S-2 will be a nice addition to the fleet.

agreed....part of me wants 3 of them without the lettering and numbers to model September 1960

Has there ever been an explanation as to why we only get two numbers on Master Line cars, while Trainman cars get three? Just curious, and wishing for more numbers on certain PS-1s.

You need to look at the catalog much closer. 

The Master Pressureaide  hopper has 3 numbers as does the Master 25,500 tank, and the Master NSC box car has 4 numbers while the Trainman 40' gondola only has 2.

Right, right. Then the question really is... Why are there only two numbers per PS-1 release?!

[CBQ Fan]

Still trying to figure out what is new about the GP40 in CB&Q. I will upgrade my fleet and I am loving the S-2 in Q!

[asarge]

A few things for me in the Pressuraides and Thrall 4750's. A couple of the 11k schemes look good and the AC&Y PS-1 too.

Suggestion for Atlas from a bunch of modelers in Georgia. PLEASE do the Central of Georgia RS3's in the as delivered scheme of Blue  Gray and Red.

[Steve Rodgers]

I am with Andy on that!

[gbcaboose]

Arrrggg...I'm on the work computer and the connection times-out when I try to check out the catalog. I guess I'll have to wait 'till this evening.

So if you're having trouble, you're not the only one.

Was excited for the B&O S-2 until I saw it was the later scheme. I really don't have time to paint one in the "Baltimore and Ohio" scheme so I will have to pass for now.

[unittrain]

Like the B&O gp9 and switcher also the NYC and WM gp40. Rollingstock wise the NSC CP rail boxcar and the NH and ACY ps-1s. Lot of good stuff.

[Mark5]

The WM GP40 is the wrong phase, but I might get one anyway 

Lotsa goodies in the catalog.

Will we get a another new Atlas loco this decade?
