I'm pretty sure that in my perusal of the Model Railroader Magazine DVD that there were ads for Atlas HO Scale Racing Sets.? Now, if I can remember the issues in which they appeared... If it wasn't

I hadn't thought of these cards originally being intended only for their HO slot cars and just put the car on there because they were the big deal, at the time, but you could be right. The cards could

Use it up, wear it out... good reuse of older packaging materials I suppose. I wonder what racing accessory this card was originally intended for? Like Doug I may have seen these at our local hobby

I have been aware of the pink card package but have never seen one in person, that I know of, anyway. I may have seen them hanging in a hobby shop and just don't remember. Atlas had HO in that

Well, this is likely to be the least important thing you'll see today... Atlas track has been packaged in several different ways, including during the A1G time period.? A version I either haven't

I was in Nichol's Hobby Shop here, in the summer of 1967 and I don't even remember what for, unless it was just one of those times when it felt like I should stop in there and look around

Thanks. My wife has UV glue and a light . . . I'll try it. Dan wrote:

What you need is UV glue, just paint it on the plastic parts use a UV light for 10 seconds and bingo, hard plastic. It's also great if the hole for the driver rod retainers are slogged out, just fill

I never said I had Zamac drivers . . . someone else said that . . . and I may not be an expert, but I am not stupid. I know what a Atlas/Rivarossi steamer is . . . . My drivers are plastic material

Hi Dan, OK, I do have an Atlas Pacific and can confirm drivers are plastic with metal rim. I thought this was a leftover from another project, but unfortunately it IS a project I put away about 5

The drivers on the Atlas Pacific are made of an engineering-type plastic/Delrin with nickel silver rims and can't deteriorate in a manner described. If you have a steamer with Zamac drivers, it is not

From previous correspondence on this site it appears that the metal the drivers were made from consists of some dubious lead/ zinc/ ? alloy which will eventually disintegrate. Its fatal!. You're
