I acquired a few cars this week. A nice set of ATSf Ga-62 war emergency hoppers by Bluford, custom run for Prototype N Scale, and Atlas CB&Q and NP doubleshethed box cars. Love the NP paint job, even if the car doesn't have a radial roof like the prototype. It will make a good stand-in...
A question about the Atlas couplers: I have a few of the cars from an earlier run, and they have short shank couplers. This run has the long shank, which creates too much space between cars...what gives? I can never figure out why some Atlas cars come with short shanks and others, virtually identical, have the long shank...
