Atlas Ideas?

Since they have already made the 89' Intermodal Flat, Twin Stack and Maxi IV. I would like to see them make a 5 unit articulated 53' Spine car. They already make 45' trailers but 53' trailers in Schneider, Swift and JB Hunt, CSX would be nice also. Also a Refrigerated trailer in the BNSF Icicle scheme and maybe the shorter trailers in UPS and FedEx schemes for some variety.

An FL-9 that we can afford,with the proper horn...... 

SD50, SD60/60M/60I

A Canadian Club Whisky reefer would be great.

Atlas O Master/Steam era classics are wonderful.  They make great boxcars, great tank cars, and great RS-1s.  So maybe it wouldn't be too difficult to deliver existing models repainted O scale offerings of:

UP Express Box Car ( in 4 different road numbers)

UP Tank Car or UP Fish Oil tank car ( in 4 different road numbers)

Illinois Terminal RS-1 (Early Black) #751

But why would they want anymore of my money?

My wish would be a NH I-5 with dcs

Atlas is really in no position to be offering anything new, especially locomotives, until they start delivering on products that are literally years behind schedule. According to their website, a lot of locomotives are supposed to be delivered before the end of the year, Master Line F3's, F7's, GP7's MP15DC's, Dash 8-40B's and BW's, SW's not to mention Trainman Dash 8-40CW's, RS3's and RSD7-15's.

That's 10 engines by my count and I don't think even the most optimistic of Atlas supporters believe that half of those models will be delivered in 2016.

If Atlas ever catches up and does new molds, I would like to see Trailer Train Class F85C flatcars with bolsters or pedestals that carried containers or other bulk freight in multi-purpose service. 

WE NEED COMBO DOOR CARS...................

Grand Trunk Western and Illinois Central PS-1 modernized 50' box cars built in the late 1960's.

SDL39 or nothin'!

They have to get to production of the Pullman-Standard PS-4750 3-bay covered hoppers for railroads like Grand Trunk Western, Penn Central, The Milwaukee Road, 1970's Burlington Northern, Seaboard System, other L&N/SCL Family Lines System schemes, B&O Chessie System, ILLINOIS CENTRAL 1972, and the many leased company names.

I just wish Atlas would get the products they have announced to market.

CF7..any version..all versions. I would take two in a heart beat

SD40-2. I would take four right off the bat. It's absolutely my favorite diesel besides the GP30. And why we only have the atrocious MTH model amazes me.

With fixed pilots would be awesome. But not required. But at this point I would like to see the MP15DC land on our shores. I want two.

Atlas Model RR. Co. makes the Kaolin Tank Cars in N and HO scales. Atlas O could make the Kaolin Tank Cars in O scale, since they already have all the plans and models.

I have to agree with some other posts in that Atlas-O needs to catch up on either products that they have produced for a number of years or deliver on those products that they advertised to produce.  I love their product. Attention to details and good quality. But finding it can be difficult. I hope they remain in the market.

 They made these in HO. ALCO HH 600. I model the B&A. Surely there are more attractive schemes than theirs that would sell and justify doing them. This was the only diesel ever on their roster and being produced in the late 30's they were around in the hey day of steam. Nice option for a small switcher.

I'd love to see them make an SW switcher. Lots of railroads had them, and they are a perfect steam to diesel transition item. Of course, I want this SW switcher:
