There's a whole slew of these coming up in the next 48 hours or so.  So far they're hovering around $10

I guess that I'm a Seaboard Coast line Goob. ;D I'll always have a soft spot for Conrail and (horrors)  :-[Penn Central.

A word to the wise. The Atlas Front Runners have two "issues". One, they are very light empty, but you can add lead or tungsten shot to the underside of the "rib" easily. Two, is not so good: They have a bad reputation for wearing thru the "trucks" on each end, and that can't be repaired, that I'm aware of. They are nice looking cars, have decent detail, and can run alright.

I had read about the issues with these, but they are rare birds, and have not been reissued in years...  I figured if anyone was up to the challenge of overcoming their shortcomings, it would be the inveterate tinkerers of the The Railwire...

I have one of those cars,haven't had many problems with it.
I use an Atlas trailer weighted with lead on the floor.
It also looks good behind my B&O E6. ;D
