We had hoped to have a sample of the car ready to show, but unfortunately it is still being tooled. I can confirm that construction will be die-cast metal with some plastic and etched metal components included.
Nice cars!! Great addition to O scale!! While not an expert on these cars,just from the drawing I see 1 item missing which I'll show a photo of. A working lower shelf coupler.![](https://ogrforum.ogaugerr.com/static/images/graemlins/icon_biggrin.gif)
I would like to see this color/lettering scheme added to the O Master Series 5161 grain hoppers,as shown in the 2nd picture. They run mostly in unit trains of 65-105 car trains.
Anyone else want any of these items?
How about additional numbers to renumber cars as only so many are run at a time,so we can make larger trains with all cars having different car numbers such as in grain trains,as no decal companies offer O decals?
A GP 40 would be nice too.![](https://ogrforum.ogaugerr.com/static/images/graemlins/icon_wink.gif)
Not trying to be sarcastic or snotty here,just making my & other's wishes known to Atlas & hoped you could pass the word on.
Thank you & again thank you for the great product,us modern era modelers DO APPRECIATE Atlas' offerings.
