goldrod_1 uploaded some pics a week ago but I see no commentary on them.

As well as the reason, some much large originals would be nice to see some of the buildings details.
Damn I'd by both of those now... (for a proposed layout) and probably create a similar footprint to swap out the stations for era changes...

I love to see pictures of the old packaging too. Thanks, Mike.

The larger, thicker cardboard boxes were the earlier ones for the
buildings. These were from about 1967 - 1969. Then Atlas began to use the thinner
cardboard versions and a lot of those were slimmer also. Just a whole different
"style."

For instance, you can find the L-shaped Engine House in both box versions,
the one like in which your Old Time Station is packaged, earlier, of course
and the the one like in which your Mainline Station is packaged later.

I hope I got the kit names correct. I'm going strictly from memory here but
I do have almost all of them.

As far as the train sets are concerned, I think the style of the one you
picture is the earlier style with the wide border around the contents of the
set inside.

There were also the ones with different color cardboard backgrounds and the
pieces bubble packed on the background. I think these were a little later
but I can't say for sure. Atlas may just have used a different style
packaging with different sets concurrently.
