I remember the Slumbercoach for that Atlas O California Zepher taking two years to clear out. Atlas O"s Amtrak California Zepher cars took that long to sell as well!
Well, I think GGD is more known now than in years past. Had I seen an ad for any of those GGD Amtrak offerings I would have been ordering, as would at least 2 others I know. Also, many of us who grew up with Amtrak are now more able to afford these than in years past.
Atlas CZ does not have a Slumbercoach. However, GGD made Slumbercoaches and offered Amtrak phase 1, I learned of these as the last 2 were remaining at GGD. we would have bought more, and in other phases. Those didn't sit around!
Also, Atlas had a lot of quality issues, I went through many sets and dealers trying to put together a CZ and an Amtrak consist. Upside down words, missing parts, shorting cars. I'm not knocking Atlas, I love the good cars I managed to locate and collect. But it was not easy. They had issues.
