Re: A1G + copycats 40' E.War / Composite Gons

Bachmann cars were typically copies made in Hong Kong or China but I guess you never know. Most of them were of equal quality to RoCo in the early days.
The Atlas Norfolk Southern composite gondola was the first N scale item (after Treble-O-Lectric) I ever got, bought in the summer of 1967. It was an absolute thrill to see those Atlas cars in the Nichol's Hobby Shop display case. I still have that car, unchanged after all these years.

Rick, you're spot on with the A1G Roadnames: Norfolk Southern (the first one), Cotton Belt/SSW, Monon and Reading.? Photos of each are on the A1G site (shameless plug).
The Walthers releases on the left of the original photo were also made by Roco and should be the same as the A1G cars, excepting perhaps a bit of tooling cleanup and in my opinion a little better paint job.
That the Bachmann releases could also be from Roco is something I haven't considered up until now.? Somewhere I think I still have one of the CB&Q cars and can do a comparison... if I can locate it.
Cheers,
George
