George,
If we are to guess if these ore cars are A1G or not, I would say they are A1G. They were made by Rivarossi ?! They surely came before the 2nd generation Atlas stuff ?! I have been looking and researching in my catalogs and your post, internet, ect. This conclusion would not be too far of a stretch in logic,ect !?!? Are these ore cars ancestors to the modern Atlas stuff !?!? Only Atlas RR would know. Atlas RR could be a great help here. Just some thoughts to contemplate for your information.
sincerely,
Randy B.

I have [finally] gotten to posting a new page on the A1G website discussing the Ore Cars and whether the first four releases (DM&IR aka Missabe, Soo Line, Great Northern and LS&I) should be counted as A1G cars.
The net of it is that I've decided not to decide. How's that for a compromise?
One of these days I'll get to fixing the pages so that links load more directly, in the meantime I've put a link on the A1G main page.
We already have a variation-- the two 2453 Great Northerns I have in my accumulation are of distinctly different brown body colors.
Cheers,
George
