Re: A1G Unique Track Pieces
writes: Well, they're still listed in the 1972 catalog but I don't know how much longer they were in the track line-up after that. Expensive too. A whole 80 cents! I know what you mean by each new

Re: Ore Cars: A1G or not?
Thanks George. Are the wheels on those black plastic or blackened metal? If blackened metal, it's a bit unusual for that era but not unheard of. My 2397 Morrell reefer has black metal wheels. If black

Ask and you shall receive... er, eventually. I have the photos uploaded to the A1G site but I haven't built the text page yet. For members here only, here is a sneak preview (well, assuming this

Re: A1G Unique Track Pieces
The photo uploaded to the site of the Illuminated Bumper brought back a lot of memories as well. I'm not sure that track piece survived very far out of the First Generation either. It was a treat

Re: Ore Cars: A1G or not?
All of my early ore cars (the first roadnames offered without loads) have Rivarossi-style trucks so that should add more intrigue. Unfortunately, I bought these second hand so I have no packaging for

Re: Ore Cars: A1G or not?
I would love it if Atlas went back to the "sans load" version, and sadly I only became interested in ore cars in the 1980s, so have none of the really "original" version. The other ore cars of the era

Ore Cars: A1G or not?
Over the past year or so, I've been having a very interesting e-mail discussion with another A1G fan and accumulator. The question at hand is whether the first run of ore cars that were marketed by

Re: Atlas on EBAY
When I first glanced at the picture, I thought the B&M car was a boxcar (the picture is a little dark) and I was going to say the set wasn't all original since a boxcar of that roadname could not be

Re: Atlas on EBAY
This brings back a lot of memories. A similar set with the "147" steam loco was the Christmas gift that started me in N Scale. The cars were different. The Therm Ice tank car pictured with the set is

Re: Michael Bishop's Artwork/Packaging Folder
Thanks for the update, Ross. I will be sending you an email. The 2852 Lumber Yard, 2853 Passenger Station, and 2858 Roadside Restaurant were never produced but I do have images of what they were

Re: Michael Bishop's Artwork/Packaging Folder
When I created the Buildings page I used an old Atlas Catalog for the name and description. The box does indeed say Gravel Tower. I have gone back to the page and changed the name to Gravel Tower. I

Re: Michael Bishop's Artwork/Packaging Folder
Nice. Just a brief look over though Ross, and I'd say you "Sand Tower" is actually a gravel pit/mine/ crusher complex. Very nice all the same, but not the 'Sand Tower' that a rr would expect (i.e.
