Is the machine shop still available from one of the other companies? With the low doors I had always used it near the roundhouse and engine shop as a machine shop for rebuilding of engine trucks or

Related to this, I saw a little discussion on the Model Railroader forum occuring a while back about the original Atlas structures and more specifically about the Machine Shop. The guy thought they

Actually, most, if not all, of these models have been continuously produced through the years. Atlas' early structure kits were manufactured by Pola and Vollmer, mostly Pola and these companies either

either way, they'd be useful models if they ever resurrected them... I'm not a fan of city-scapes much. dave ...

I love to see pictures of the old packaging too. Thanks, Mike. The larger, thicker cardboard boxes were the earlier ones for the buildings. These were from about 1967 - 1969. Then Atlas began to use

Sorry, My post, a question about?what time period for the different? boxes for the Atlas kits?never got any further than a draft in Word on my computer. ?? ? Michael Bishop

goldrod_1 uploaded some pics a week ago but I see no commentary on them. As well as the reason, some much large originals would be nice to see some of the buildings details. Damn I'd by both of those

I have the following Atlas cars for sale, all in their original boxes with inserts. All are in like new condition, never having been run. 2281 SP Bulkhead Flat 2382 CN 40' M. Boxcar 2387 Linde Steel

Atlas/Trainman is releasing their Centerflow in the Gulf paint scheme, very close to the one they did in the 60's. The new car will have three road numbers. Michael Bishop

Doug, The car has no brakewheel. But ... I think you're right about the deck and the bulheads. Upon partial disassembly, they appear to have been painted. Mystery solved. And now I can gleefully strip

I keep forgetting things. That packaging is the earliest style Atlas (RoCo) used on the A1G freight cars. It was replaced very early (late 1967-early1968) with the typical blue plastic insert version

In fact, I would almost bet that car has been modified because nothing like that has shown up in over 40 years and I would expect that at least one would have surfaced by now. And I am not trying to

It would have to be verified that somebody didn't just paint the bulkheads that color and add the brakewheel. These cars came without brakewheels originally. There must be a measure of skepticism

Interesting, I've seen quite a few of those cars but never with colored bulkheads. It's hard to tell from the picture but the color looks similar to the Illinois Central 40' steel DD door variant

I stumbled onto this in a "used" train shop - it appears to be yet another variation: http://tinypic.com/r/9ro8z5/7 http://tinypic.com/r/vwv4hu/7 Interesting eh? "Tan" bulheads and deck. Gotta love

Thanks for the info, George. Alas, my little Therm Ice "reefer" I've had since the early seventies has three of its four corner steps missing. There is paint over the spots where the steps would have

George, I have two Therm Ice cars. One has been painted over a National Dairy Despatch 2222 logo. I have no idea why this was done but you can clearly read the National Dairy lettering showing thru on

The October 2010 pre-order announcements from Atlas contains one car that is, for us A1G fans, a trip "back to the future." Catalog numbers 33011 and 33012 are forty foot plug door boxcars painted for

Mine are still happily living their pristine lives in their original boxes. Oh, except for one extra #3121 N.P. genuine "Pig Palace" car I bought while completing my collection that came with no box.
