Had occassion to pick up a 2402 Union Pacific gondola during my travels the past couple of weeks. But guess what... although it's got the same catalog number as the original A1G release, it's not an

Wow! I just took a closer look at the photo of this car and it does appear that the box is correct. I had only really looked at the car itself the first time. I guess it goes to show that one should

I made a small error in my last post. I wrote: Actually, these two kits reappeared in the April 1972 AHC catalog at the sale price. I may be partially forgiven, though, because it's kind of tough

Hi everybody, Well, I've been looking through old MRs and RMCs to try to pin down the time period that the kits were offered by Atlas. While the beginning is fairly sure, I haven't been able to

Hi all... in a flurry of activity (?) I have rescanned the four cars in the A1G 2310 Covered Hopper series. I picked this group to refresh in order to add Edward Bridges' variation scans on the 2311

Hi all... well, with the scanner problem finally solved, I have posted an image of the 2274 Transfer caboose which I acquired some time ago. With the exception of variations (which seem to be

I know the feeling. I recently picked up all four 94 footers from "that auction website" and paid about $150 for all four (3 in one auction for $123.50 and one in an auction with 5 other cars for

Hi everybody, Well, I see that the going rate for a LNIB 94 foot tank car is still right up there. There was an eBay auction that ended on the 21st for a Wanda and the winning bid was 72 bucks! I

I had assumed that this version of the box came in the starter sets only because of the numbering on the plastic holder--1=reefer, 2=gondola, etc. Is this correct? Or was this the standard box for the

Edward Bridges posted a car that was in an unusual box, and had foam at the ends (see photo section of group). I believe that his box is missing the plastic holders. I have found this type of box in

However, Ross Fink and I discussed, today, whether Atlas may I can think of a reason for hobbyists putting an extra set of trucks in the boxes... those kit trucks were, let us say, suboptimal. I

Oops, I erred in the location of the Atlas logo on the cardboard box. It is at the top LEFT corner on the top of the box, not RIGHT corner as I said. Doug

Hi everybody, This time I will write about what, exactly, should be included in an Atlas car kit for those who are interested in collecting them and want to be sure a kit is complete. I will list the
