Hi George,
Here is Carlos Eduardo from S?o Paulo - Brasil.
I am an N enthusiast since 1980. You can imagine how difficult was that early years to find and buy N scale material.
With the advent of EBay the life turn easier but not a wonderful since I collect Penn Central Stuff.
When you publish A1G site, part of your Jornal, I decide to gather those cars and locos. At this time I have 1146 cars which are about 1000 N scale.
In the A1G section of the collection are about 150 cars. Your site always be a precious source of information for me in an adventure to find some new cars.
Well, I am writing to ask for some help:
I have a 40?Single Door Box Car in the ATSF color with TRIX - Western Germany marks on the bottom of the car. The problem is that car appears on the page 31 of the Atlas 1967-68 Catalog besides another 40?Box Car that really are A1G! (Will send pictures in another e-mail)
If we look at close the car, it has the some roof, rear and front side patterns of the Atlas cars. The two visible differences are the shape of the door and the fact that the ATSF cars does not have rivets on the junction of the steel plates of the car?s sides. (Pictures in another e-mail)
I will appreciate so much any information¡
And if you consider relevant, I can scan the 67/68 catalog to add in the site.
Thanks a lot,
Carlos
