In these postings, the first and major thing I want to see is a complete list of available roadnames.  I still have a stash of unlettered K-Line Heavyweights that l can correct omissions with, if forced to

Did you look at the link in the first post?  Following the index were pictures of each of the road name sets.  Just curious, what more were you looking for?

Aren’t they all available? Atlas will make the ones they think they can sell and ignore the rest. How many would buy cars lettered for Livonia, Avon, and Lakeville? 3 or 4? I am not waiting for those.

MTH has been making NYC cars every other year for the last 25 years. They have evolved from silohuette windows to interiors, to interiors with figures, to LED lighting. I suspect the Atlas cars will be close to if not identical to the cars with LEDs.

There are a number of sets on the auction sites now including the last runs.

Pete,

Yes, they will be exactly the same as the newest MTH 70' cars.

I currently have several sets of Premier NYC passenger cars. I was looking for the most recent cars (figures, LEDs, etc) in a plain Pullman green scheme w/ NYC lettering. Prices on the auction site are a little nuts at the moment, so I was hoping to get a new set for the same price a used or new old stock set is going for.

There are two green two car sets with LEDs for considerably less ($125) than projected street price of the Atlas cars. I would be snapping them up if I didn't already have a few dozen green heavyweights. You snooze, you loose.

I thought it'd be nice for them to make an add-on pack for the RBMN with a Baggage #1250/Observation #5 "Black Diamond. Plus some add-on coaches (RBMN, Pullman "Hickory Run" #2, Pullman "Parlor Car" #3, and and a full dome #4).

i mentioned this in the other thread on these but the rbmn coaches and the lehigh gorge ones arent exactly correct. they should have 2 axle trucks not 3. the only 3 axle trucks are the pullman, parlor and private car no.1. all the regular passenger cars have the 2 axle trucks. suppose this really doenst matter to some people but it would to me.  the atlas trainman rbmn cars are really nice, and true to scale. the lionel cars that model the private cars are also really nice. anyways, just something i noticed.......

Logan from Atlas confirmed that the Atlas O Madison cars will have the passenger figures inside. These cars will be identical to how MTH produced them previously.
