Atlas o Ukraine box car

please post or message the Atlas email to me.

John Nagurney

Here is the announcement. I’m glad to see ALL the profit going to relief efforts vs others that are only donating a few bucks for Ukrainian cars. This is true philanthropy instead of profiting from a custom car based on this horrible war. They’ve got my order.

My mother in law (100% Ukrainian) would say they did it correctly because they included the crest.

I ordered two.

I’ll be putting in an order for one. Very tastefully done.

Definitely will get one.

MTH could learn something from this.  Not holding my breath for that, though.

Love it! Ordered one.

Can someone post a link to order as I can not seam to find it? Thanks

Erick Train Man,My wife and her family are all Ukies

Its not a crest it's a Tryzub,you should know that

As soon as my wife saw the hippie peace sign see said no.

Also the national flower is the sunflower,and I think that is what is supposed to be around the peace sign,which looks horrible.

I Have O and my wife has N, If that car was just like it is but with a slightly larger Tryzub and no peace sign she would have got it in a minute

I see your from Boothwyn,do you go to the Tryzub Ukrainian American Sport Center  folk festival in August every year?

We go every year(except for the last two)

Thought these were nice, but would have preferred the same 50' boxcar they used for ho/n scale

I do not normally buy this type of product but this one appeals to me. Now to figure out just which OGR sponsor to order from!

TrainWorld is a little cheaper.    https://www.trainworld.com/pre...e-peace-edition.html

I commend Atlas for donating all profits to Ukraine relief efforts, but don't understand that if folks truly want to support Ukraine why don't they just donate an equal amount to the cost of the rolling stock directly to relief efforts???  This same thought applies to the MTH cars as well.

I don’t think we can assume who has or hasn’t already donated money for the cause but I do think it’s a good thing for the train community that we care and are proud to run and display cars that show our support. Train clubs get a lot of traffic from open house events and I think folks would appreciate seeing cars like it. A few sales of box cars aren’t going to solve all the problems but every little bit…..

Thank you. That one is for the three-rail one and Trainworld does not list the two-rail one; at least a product number search on their site shows "no results found".

Mr Muffin ordered 2-rail Atlas engines for me (before Atlas cancelled the runs). So, maybe give Steve a call?

Same with me. I'll put it on a shelf.

I keep politics and all the other miserable garbage away from my hobbies, but I will be happy to display this.
