Nice review, I have a 2 rail set and with one exception they were well done,Atlas chose to cut a corner compared to the high detail level of the Trinity cars by leaving out the A and B end detail grab irons, lettering and air hoses [yes the air hoses are mounted on the 3 rail trucks] for the 300.00 retail price I thought they would have finished the ends off prototypically. In comparision the Lionel Gundersons were fully diecast with superb end detail, the Atlas ends are plastic, just pointing that out they are still very well done with the above noted exception. In all fairness the Lionels were produced some 10+ years ago, back in the 2009 catalog they carried a retail price for a 2 car set of 225.00 including containers which were shortened [1/2"= 2 scale feet] to accomadate the 3 rail large truck swing on 0-31 curves.JMO
