Funny! I wonder which car the shipper started with? \:^) Doug

I know of the photo that you are referring to, I saw?itin a magazine (I believe it was in Model Railroader) just after Atlas hadreleased the tank car. When Atlas had released the beer can car in the

Somewhere on the internet, I found a promo photo of the whale tank car coupled to a beer can tank (similar to the older Atlas model).. I didnt save it, and I wish I could find it again.

Thanks, George. Yeah, he was around back then. He should know Atlas' strategy back then; the release of uncommon equipment, in addition to the usual stuff, which was exhibited in their locomotive

Gang, Somehow I've managed to stumble into the digital edition of the January 2019 issue of Model Railroader (not sure how...) and on Page 26 is Jim Kelly's regular column "N Scale Insight."? The

I still run my upgraded 85’ stock cars and depressed centre cars, and I have a couple that I converted to track cleaners back in the early nineties. I also have a helium car and a vinegar car, but I

Yes, the white ones, I am using the translucent ones now.

Is it the white ones that went brittle on you? Those are the ones that did for me. The later orange-yellow ones and modern translucent ones are OK. Doug

Yup. '68-'69. Those were the years of greatest expansion of the A1G's. And yes, adding a new car was a real thrill. Anytime I rode my bike up to Nichol's Hobby shop and bought one (after saving up for

Rick,I too have started a new N scale project, it started as a test track but has become a small switch layout. Using 99% Atlas/Roco track, I found that the A1G track insulators have become brittle

Hi George,? ?Currently will be starting a new N scale project. And plan to run my A1G cars. What's the sense of having them if you don't enjoy and run them ? ?It brings back great memories of

i have many of the AIG freight cars. Many ofthem are of uniqude design, such as the container flat cars,,pulpwood cara, the 85 foot hi cube cattle cars and those 94 foot jumbo tank cars.

My helium tank cars, a vinegar tank car, several of the steelside reefers and a few of the 40' double deck stock cars are still active. The rest have gone to the shelf. Michael Bishop

I still run a lot of them. Of course, I have never really kept up with the latest anyway, but when you're three or more feet away from a train, the cars look the same, regardless of the generation. If

Gang, I've been slowly going through a backlog of print magazines from this year (don't ask!) and I see that model railroad feature stories still, well, feature A1G rolling stock.? Although they've

Right. The blanking out is related to the Importer's name. If Roco needed some floors to use on a different importer's cars, they blanked out the original Importer's name so they could use the floors

No you don't "unknowingly" do that. Many of the cars I've seen in Trix and other boxes tho have had a soldering iron smear the inset label moulded on. Just leaves 'Italy' or 'Yugoslavia' in the next
