Re: The 2303 (NYMX Refrigerator)...

Then there was one that sold on the 25th and I bid on it but got sniped. I got the one from last night. I was surprised because I just put in my maximum and wasn't even there at auction's end. So, I guess that makes it four 2303Bs recently then? Or is it that I simply wasn't looking... ?!?Could be, I wasn't either! Hey, maybe these guys monitor the list! Doug --Your list-owner |

More A1Gs on that internet auction community
umtrr
The seller "alana-rose" just put up on eBay some group lots of A1Gs
including the large cars... 94 foot tankers, auto racks, hi-cube box and stock cars. Listed as MIB and with boxes according to the pics. Low opening bids in groups but $7.50 shipping (yikes). You could search on "Atlas Set" or the seller name and the listings should come up. In case anyone's interested, no affiliation, yada yada. --Your list-owner |

A1G #2303b for sale on ebay
#2303b
Edward Bridges
Folks, I found anohter 2303b for sale on ebay. It looks to be in
pretty good shape. I already have one so will leave this one for others to attempt to get. Link to the item is: =486 I hope someone here wins this car. I am keeping my eye out for more of them. Edward Bridges |

Re: My A1G car list......
Edward Bridges
Hey Edward, do you have an extra 2303b? hehe:>)I wish I had some extras of that car. I could make a little money. Will be looking for more of them down here in Texas. The 2303b I won on ebay came from California. All but two cars in my accumulation came from won auctions on ebay. All 18 of the locomotives came from won auctions as well (all but one still in its original box!). I don't have a lot of duplicate cars as of yet. I have only been buying these cars since the end of May.

Re: My A1G car list......
Edward Bridges
Please place a listing here of the duplicate cars that you wouldbe interested in selling before going to e-bay? I will post a listing here of what I have for sale. I only buy from ebay, I don't sell. I don't see the point of paying a third party just to sell something. I have a few freight cars as well as passenger cars and a couple of locomotives I will post for sale once the pile gets large enough to warrant moving.

Question about A1G #2260 series tank cars
Edward Bridges
I was wondering about something I have noticed about some of the
single dome chemical tank cars. I own cars #2261 (Gulf), #2262 (Frontier) and #2264a (General American). The only mechanical difference between the three I have is that #2261 (Gulf) has different ladders thant he other two. The other two cars have a ladder with railings above the simulated running board on the side of the tank car while the Gulf car doesn't have the railings, it only has a ladder. Is this the way all the #2261 cars originally came or is it a variation? My 2261 looks just like the one shown on George Irwin's web site. Just curious. Any explanation would be appreciated.

HEADS UP **94 foot tank cars on ebay**
Edward Bridges
I just looked at ebay and ALL FOUR of the 94 foot super tank cars
are listed for auction, all starting at $4.99. Too bad I have curtailed my ebay buying because of some local swap meets coming up. Maybe someone on this list can win them. Thought the group would like to know. Edward Bridges Granger, TX |

Photos of 2303 variations posted

I have posted a picture of the two different variations of the 2303
NYC refrigerator car, car numbers 1000 and 1020 in the photos section. I took several different pictures of both cars and will send some to George Irwin shortly for potential use on the website. I hope this helps show the differecnes in the two paint schemes. Edward Bridges Granger, TX |

Re: Atlas #2303 variations
Edward Bridges
might have to start hanging out on eBay again.That is where I got this odd car. Only paid about $2.50 for it (MIB!!!) in a cluster of 5 cars ($12.00). I got the 1020 first, then ended up with 1000 as a single car auction a few days later and never noticed the difference until looking at George Irwin's site the other night. My 1000 has missing stirrups on one end of the car while 1020 is mint condition. I have bid on a LOT of old Atlas stuff on ebay...and won it lately. Will post scans of both 1000 and 1020 as time permits and will send george Irwin scans for the site. Guess I found something worth looking for!

Like I said, I have an example of each release but not necessarily all variations. Another thing to watch out for is making sure the one you buy is an A1G and not a later version. The only example I can think of, though, is the vinegar tank cars. I know Atlas re-released these later and that the Heinz car was slightly different. On the original, the "flat" part of the car is blue and has more lettering on it than the later version which has brown and very little lettering. I can't remember the exact lettering differences but the blue vs. brown is the tip-off. As far as the other three cars in this group, I don't know if there were any differences A1G vs. ater.

After reading what Mr. Irwin has on his website about this car, I found both cars and compared them and found differences and figured most here would like to know. Edward Bridges Granger, TX Yes this is very interesting. I would like to see a scan of the 1020 car because I have never been able to find one. I only have the version which appears on George's site. The box for mine, however, has the lettering the same as for your 1020 car. Another car that has interesting variations is the #2333 U.P. double door boxcar. I have versions A (thin black lettering) and C (thin blue lettering with additional reporting marks) but haven't been able to locate a version B (thin blue lettering without additional reporting marks). The A car is the flatter finish, B car satin. The red stripes in the U.P. shield on the A car are thicker than on the B car, although that may just be a production variation. Also, the A car has F 8-61 on the right side for a build? date and the B car has DMI-63. I also don't have an A version (beigh) of the 2302 Safeway Foods car. Hmm, might have to start hanging out on eBay again. Doug |

I hadn't listed the 1020 version on my site, frankly, because I'd never seen one. Since we now have evidence (and yes, I'd appreciate some small sized scans), I have changed the website listing. However, it'll be a while before I can update the photos. (I guess I'd better buy that scanner soon.) Meanwhile, Edward, I've given you a credit on the 2300 page discussing the paint and lettering variations. Cheers, George (your list owner) |
