It is definitely a 2nd generation Caboose. Also, look at the paper

insert. I associate that type of paper insert with the "Atlas and Tracks" as a second generation paper insert. Atlas did this with the 2274 transfer caboose, of which I have several examples. George also mentions it on the A1G Web site. However, this is the only other 2270 series that I have seen as a 2nd generation. -----Original Message-----

An Atlas #2271 is a first generation car with road #1951. The first generation cabeese have three evenly spaced windows on each side starting at about the middle and going away from the cupola. There is no divider in the middle of each window; it is just a single opening. Also, the cupola is removable on the A1G cars and not on the A2G cars. The A2G cabeese have five windows on one side (cupola to the right) and three unevenly spaced windows on the other. There is a divider in the middle of each window. There are other differences too (like riveted panel size) but these are the main spotting features. I don't know exactly what you have there because I can't find that road number in the Greenberg guide, although there may have been a later release with that number. The other 227X cars are A1G cars too. Regards, Doug Yahoo!
