A few years back I started a couple of pages related to the A1G Building Kits and Train Set. The Building Kits are at: http://rossfink.com/Atlas%20First%20Generation%20Building%20Kits/ The Train Sets

In case others may not have seen it yet, Michael Bishop has started a folder in the photo section showing A1G artwork/packaging and it looks terrific! Michael, is it your goal to have as many examples

I forgot. The bridges and lamps were all listed in the 1972 catalog so, assuming the catalog was actually put together before the actual 1972 year (most catalogs are released in advance), the bridges

writes: Well, going by advertising, the three bridges were released sometime between September of 1971 and April of 1972. I can't narrow it down any closer because I am missing the MR issues between

Hi, everybody, As a result of looking at my examples of this car because of a thread on the Atlas forum, I discovered two obvious variations. Actually, I have known about one of them (black ends on
