Re: A1G moving to Groups.io
Yes, that's the plan.? It's worked well so far on the groups to which I belong.? I receive an e-mail indicating that I'm now a member of the new group.
I will keep the A1G YahooGroup in place after the transition as well.. for as long as Verizon deigns to keep it around.

Re: PMI cars - [was OT perhaps -Where in the hierarchy
Indeed Michael thank you. They are all marked Lima/ Italy on the underbody. Interestingly they- - have bodies identical to Atlas made by RR types, except the door windows are much deeper, and the Lima combine is the same. - all car types have the same roof, - are not identical in any way to actual RR branded cars (of which I think I only have two). - are not the same plastic in manufacture or colour of the 'other' branded cars -similar but slightly less well defined (i perceive) 3 axle trucks. - box art (NIB all) proclaims: PMI 'N' GAUGE TRAINS_ "Precision Models made in Italy".
Their 'Santa Fe' shall become something else in due course.

Re: Shameless Plug Department: A1G 94 Foot Tank Cars on eBay
George,?
I finally took the time to peruse your auctions and I have to say I remember spending very similar amounts on my 94 footers years ago (I actually already had the NADX version from back in the day but bought another as manufactured one since I had modified mine). However, being that there was nothing else like them in N scale then or since, I feel they are well worth it.
