Bob,
It is my understanding that the Atlas shorties are later cars with vestibules.

But the one you have is a very nice car, thanks for posting the links.  Wish that manufacturers would show more interest in late 19th-early 20th century cars.

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

That's not the correct car.  The cars Atlas is doing were 63' 3" long while the steel open-platform suburban cars you linked to were 68' 4" long.

Very nice! I see lots of potential Soo Line goodness there...

Any idea on Roadnames or a Timeline yet?

Not sure what I was thinking when I posted. Were these an earlier version of short passenger cars on the C&NW?

I believe that the O-scale offerings are what we can expect in N... the problem is the latest offerings that were suppose to be new schemes and new numbers is the same page liked to below...
