Updating Atlas Wikipedia Page with A1G-any volunteers


 

Hey gang,

I wandered over to the Wikipedia page for Atlas...



...and believe it or not, there is not a single mention of their N Scale Rolling Stock, starting of course with A1G in the late 1960s.? (I don't have a precise date.)

I have a Wikipedia editing login that I rarely used.? I would have updated the page myself, citing the A1G site as a source... but Wikipedia does not allow you to cite yourself as a source.? (Gee, I wonder why...)

If someone would like to volunteer add a few lines about how Atlas started with A1G, moved the production to the USA and then to China, I think that would be a start.? Who knows, maybe we'll get a little more traffic out of it.

Cheers,
George

Hi Ira,

It was 1967 when Atlas started selling N scale, called N Gauge back then.
