So they ran the three numbers once without sound and then reran them (same road numbers) with dcc/sound.
I have heard rumors that Atlas will announce a new freight car soon and it will be another modern car. I think their sales have been very good with their recent modern cars so I hope to see more in the future. Hopefully we will get another newer loco from them at some point as well.
Thanks

Don,
My question is,I guess,I was told months ago that Atlas has time schedules when they focus on rerunning certain models,say every 5 years just for conversation.
But in the case of my CSX 4750 cvd hoppers,will they start all new artwork which is fine,or will they disregard the CSX car entirely. The input I just got from Atlas is the CSX car is done,like all other cars,on "request" only,whatever that means.(?)
I've got enough CSX 4750s for now,but Intermountain in HO,for example,makes successive runs of CSX models every couple years with new car numbers & possibly with a new scheme.
Thanks,
Al Hummel
