Reply to "2 rail SW9's"

We'll all be viewing this from our own corner. Weaver started as 2-rail only and then got persuaded to do 3-rail too, good quality and prices, but the Lionel brand didn't let them in. Atlas did 2- and 3-rail versions of all their models, then had factory problems, took criticism from hungry 2-railers and "Who?" from 3-railers and ended up taking MTH tooling and inventory, without telling 2-railers that 2-rail versions might be in plan. The Airslide hopper, Gunderson boxcar easily good enough to be promised with 2-rail trucks and the existing pads for the Kadees(!).

I've ordered some 2-rail Atlas Master autoracks to see how UK O-scalers deal with stunning temptation. Uh-oh those tiny 28" wheels will need the cars raised for 3-rail wheels.
