Hi gents

Just picked up by auction (here in NZ) a 2652 Smoothside Combine
"Baggage" PRR in moderate condition for about $14US equiv including freight.

Nice little car but not sure it will travel on rails with its sister Huron Rapids which I'm pleased to say I could put on a CZ consist as the real thing did appear on the D&RGW edition at one time or more.

Moderate condition- no box at all- roof paint scratched / flaked off in small patches; blemishes on predominantly one side I'm guessing from packing, with wear down to plastic on some edges and profile highlights.

With lighting, no interior set, both trucks (only a little axle rust) present but one coupler gone, would need touch up or respray to rehabilitate to show status.

Just thought I'd let you know they get around!

Hi group,

Shameless plug department... for those of you who may be looking for any of the four 94 foot tank cars, I have all four listed on eBay right now, closing Saturday 20 January at 8PM Eastern Time.

Look for "umtrr-author" as the seller, or here's one of the citations from which you can see the other three:

eBay has clamped down on what can and can't be said in listings, so I could not mention that the proceeds will go toward the costs of hosting the A1G website.

Please note that I'm not looking to open a debate on selling venues here.? Thanks...

Cheers,

George

And it's been so long ago I have no link to the photos Could you post a link for all
Many thanks

I think at that time Micro-Trains was known as KADEE ..

So do Helium tank cars get lighter when fully loaded?

Does all of that Helium make the car float off of the track?

Hi gang...

Well, Yahoo says there's been no activity here in, well, months.?? I don't expect a surge in postings either... but...

I have added a few new images to the site.??

First, I've picked up three more Bay Window cabooses.? One is the red "transfer" version and two more are E-R Models re-releases on the body style.?? They're now available through the Bay Window Caboose page (2430).

Also, you might be aware that Micro-Trains went to Roco for a production of Helium Tank Cars, which brings an original A1G item into the 21st Century!? I added a photo of the MTL release of "NASA Series #3" which is the Roco car with MTL trucks, couplers, and paint, to the bottom of the Helium Cars Page (3030).

All for now...

Cheers,
George

The pictures of the 1967-68 Atlas Usa Catalog

[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

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

Tom,The NYC 40' plug and sliding door is an AHM.The Atlas 50' Double door is that of later Atlas release after the 1ag era. The body style was introduced with the Atlas kits but the P&LE (NYC)?paint scheme was not part of the kits.
