@naveenrajan posted:For an MSRP of $150, it would be safe to guess that there is only 1 car, not a 2-pack. The product numbers could be misleading like when Atlas did something similar for the very first run of the Maxi-IV, 3-unit intermodal cars.
I just hope that the 2nd Quarter release date is achievable. I reserved few of these when they were initially announced over 2 & 1/2 years ago in June 2019. I call Atlas every quarter asking for an update, most recently last week, the day before Thanksgiving and they still couldn’t estimate the delivery date. All they could tell me was that it won’t be shipped in 2021.
I used to get annoyed by the lack of progress with these cars but I am getting desensitized. I remember calling Atlas before the COVID pandemic slowed logistics and was told that they hadn’t even approved tooling for these cars even though the preorder deadline passed 6 months prior.
These are just my opinion,

The reason for the 12/10 cutoff date on the orders... they are extending the existing PO, and after that, they'll be ready to go.
