I bought light tubes and the pc boards to try to retrofit older models using the 8-40cw frames as guides.  Never got around to doing anything with them

I suspect that using individual small SMD (0402 or 0201) LEDs and magnet wire in each light housing would be easier than trying to modify the old loco to accept the light pipes. Assuming that you would be up for the challenge.

Good to see the BLMA etched parts come back.

I hope they will do another run of BLMA 100T trucks. I still need several sets.

More plows - these must be very popular.

I was poking around in my LHS and noticed a healthy bunch of what I believe are the (former) BLMA 100 ton trucks on their peg board. You might want to give Central Hobbies in Vancouver a call.

Regarding the N-Scale DASH 8-40BW, a few years ago I bought two of them.

What still bothers me today ist the fact that these two are the only Atlas models I have where the shell is higher at front than at the back.

I have no idea if it is an error or how to correct it.

All other Atlas models are even, that ist, the side sills are all at the same height, from front to back.

Any ideas?

The side sills on the prototype are uneven... Is this what you mean?

No N scale freight car ladders in-stock or in this release?  :(   I have a slew of 12 panel box cars I would like to put finer ladders on.
Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.

  Do you need tall or short?  We have separate short ladders for our 101 baby hicube...would those work?

Their website says first quarter this year -- maybe they'll arrive along with the US's herd immunity achievement.

I’m sorry, I can’t find it...can you point me to where the FA/FB info is?
Thanks,
Otto

Apparently Atlas purchased 'Some' of the MTH O scale Premier line...

I saw that, allegedly the proceeds from both the HO sales and Premier O Diesels is being used to allow the remainder of the company to restart under employee ownership and continue to make Steam models.
