New Atlas Catalog is up.

E&LS and Fox River Valley will eventually find their way here as will a few 20k tanks.

Oh crap! I thought that was just the ACF car and glossed over it. Tons of RBOX cars for me. I hope they follow up with the ABOX version as well. Not that I ever had an issue with the MDC/Athearn cars. More is always better.

Wish they would do a Berwick though.

Ha. Me too! Time for even more Railbox variation.

I guess I'm in for that PC hopper. And that Transamerica trailer. MMM.

I may be in for a Belt Railway VO-1000.  Have noted that paint scheme becoming more popular.  Perhaps more urban switching layouts in N scale because you can make the buildings in a realistic proportion?

I was wondering if anyone here (Hello Bryan B.!) knows what the era of the New Haven NE6 caboose is? Is it before 1960?

IIRC, they were built 1947-1948.

I don't know, I've never really considered the BRC an "industrial switching" road. Did they do much carload business? I guess they did, but to me, the BRC has always seemed like a yard to yard operation.

Now, if you're as big of a fan of yards and yard work as I am, then it IS indeed an excellent prototype. Hmm...

This I know but was I wondering about the lettering scheme that is being released as to what it's era is.

As-built scheme, 1948 through 1955 or so.  Most of the NE6 class was repainted in the New Image schemes beginning in 1955, but some retained their original scheme.  All of the schemes except for the all-red with white block herald and lettering are pre-1960.

Thank you Bryan!!! Guess thee will be one for me in the future then.

I renumbered one of the original releases when I retired my scratchbuilt fleet of NE6 cabooses and that's the one I run.  But I do have all of the stock releases.  I believe these will increase the count to six of the As-Built scheme.

The new FMC boxcar models look really nice Railbox and LEF&C multiple numbers for me.  http://www.atlasrr.com/NFreight/n5077boxcar.htm#.VcJ0v2rD8v4

[GonzoCRFan]

Does anyone know the story with the PC centerflow?

Certainly not I, it's not like I wrote a quarterly article about them or anything...

[Mark5]

Checked up on the Railbox FMC 5077s 

The range Atlas is doing just makes it in for my era:

RBOX 17700-19499 blt 9/75 thru 2/76

Oh *****, no kidding. I'll have to go dig that out.

Lots of good stuff coming... but no N scale GP40-2W.
