No, they're just going to release each element on April 1 for the next 118 years.  :P

The Hydrogen and Heliums car will be too light and the lead and plutonium cars will be too heavy.  The Noble gas cars always uncouple as they don't play nice will all the others.  And let's not even talk about the Mercury car where it can't even hold it's own shape!   :trollface:

Oh, those with humid basements?  Forget homasote, watch out for the Potassium car!

Well, it has to be an April Fool's Joke....UNLESS.... pre-orders exceed the magic number.

Heavy and light have to do with how much of the commodity is carried and packaged.  They could do the helium car as a helium car (don't they have the old Roco tooling for these?).
Plutonium car could be ACL 666 if they ever bring out the coach-baggage combine.

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

If they do really produce this series, they should include:

Didn't Atlas have, or at least announce, such a series years ago?

I have an idea: they could do the Emoji Series next! Imagine the potentially infinite possibilities! :facepalm:

I pre-ordered them all!  :trollface:

I hope MTL sells a bunch so we can keep getting the good stuff that MTL makes.  8)

April fools aside.. Actually not a bad idea for a series to run... though it would take 9 years of monthly releases to get up to date..

Ohh.. if only Big Bang theory was still on the air...

So, would Sheldon be trying to make N scale "cornfield meets" at high enough velocity to make new "heavy element" cars that Micro Trains (and physicists) have never made, before?  :trollface:

Sheldon was a fan of both model and prototype trains.
