Those photos are very interesting. I must go to the basement and see what I have. I think I have Atlas #1 and Atlas #2, not the E-R. Eyeballs are better than memory.
Is this a place to ask about other than Atlas such as Minitrix, AHM and Arnold-Rapido?
If I am going to find the vinegar car i think I will have other questions.
Also there was an N scale guide by a man who lived near Johnstown, PA. It came out in the 80s or so. Does anyone remember this?
