A sure bet to whether or not you have a genuine A1G car is look at
the number on the box. If that number is 3200 or higher, it ISN'T
A1G.
Locomotives, now that is a different story. I have many Atlas
engines that are packaged like the A1G, but are actually A2G. Mr.
Doug Gosha's site can help with the motive power.
It's nice to see more interest in this stuff. I have been seriously
accumulating since July, 2003 and have about 85% of it, most of it
MIB! some of the cars can be a real pain to find in good shape at a
decent price. (I have a stach of some harder to find A1G cars that i
add to as I find them).
I mainly go after only cars still in their original boxes as they
are worth more than the loose cars. I look at this accumulation as
an investment.
My advice on what you have would be to hold on to it, especially if
its in very good shape.
