Re: Mystery Heinz 57 Vinegar Car?
|
I ran an Ebay search for "vinegar" and learned 2 things: 1: Ebay seems to be blocking visibility of completed listings on the website. 2: Atlas made a second run of Vinegar cars in the 1990s? (based on the jewel case cradle color and label) -- The car I have is from this '2nd run' In this case, each car had 2 numbers,the cars come in the medium size jewel case commonly used from Mid 1980s-today for larger Covered Hoppers and the TOFC cars,? Also the cars have a white cradle.
I found: Heinz ATL 3051 #203 and ATL 3052 #204 and Milwaukee ATL 3053 #10 and ATL 3054 #16

I looked at the A1g site. There are pics of the blue car as the original Atlas car. Then there are pics of the E-R models by Roco of a newer run. This car has a brown flat with no reporting marks.
I have both models somewhere but only remember there was a second run. I don't remember who did the second run. It must have been E-R. I will try to find my model to see if the E-R car says Atlas on the bottom.
