Atlas-O 53’ containers are available in more than 6 road numbers

Just found out that even though Atlas-O’s website for the 53’ intermodal containers mentions “Six road numbers are available per road name.”, there are 8 road numbers to choose from. Last month, when I visited Mr. Muffin’s Trains to purchase the white CSX containers from an earlier run, I noticed that in addition to the 3006301-1,-2,-3,-4,-5 & -6 Item #s, there was a -7, which I was not expecting. The salesperson looked up the Atlas-O website & assumed that it might have been a printing mistake.

But last week I saw -7 & -8, again, this time, at Des Plaines Hobbies.

This week, while on the phone with Atlas-O to get an updated delivery date on the Maxi-IV well cars & the 53’ containers from the most recent announcement, I learnt that while the 6-pack packs of these 53’ containers only contain 6 unique road numbers, the container assortment packs contain 2 more road numbers for each road name.

Thanks,

Naveen
