Hi Edward,
I'm assuming your looking for A1G stakes to complete the A1G flats that you have to get them back to original condition but by chance that your not, I may have two sets from a couple of MT flats and possibly 1 to 2 sets from some Atlas flats that were produced in China that you can have if you want them. The cars that I have that the stakes belong to have custom wood loads that are tied down directly to the cars and I will not be able to use them. It's also possible that I might have a couple more sets of the Atlas and MT cars. If you want them let me know and I'll gather up what I have and will give you a definate total of each brand.

Date: Sat, 05 Jun 2004 00:12:59 -0000

I am in need of several sets of the stakes that once came with the
2370 series 40' flatcars. I have three of the four and all need new
sprues of stakes.

Anyone willing to part with 6 sprues of intact stakes, please email
me offlist please.

More than willing to pay for stakes plus postage.

Just checked out the new home for the A1G site and it works fine for me also. Loading time for the pictures seems a whole lot faster then the older site. By George, I think you got it!!!! (no pun intended.....lol)

Looks good and works fine.

You should get a redirect message and an auto redirect to the main

Please make a note of it! And do let me know if something appears

Unfortunately since there is so little space left to play with I
won't be doing any A1G updates for a while. It appears that I can
double the monthly cost of the domain and go from 15MB to 200MB, but
that's not yet in the cards, at least for the next few weeks.

Thanks for your patience, everybody.

Cheers,
George

George,

Of course, I just had to drag myself to the site again to check it out :")
Everything seems to be hunky-dory after the move.

I changed the link on my site to the new address.

As part of the ongoing process of "redistribution" of materials
throughout our humble abode, I am coming across things that I will
never use.

I have a pair of shells of the 2347 Suburban Propane jumbo tank car.
They aren't in the greatest condition... I think you can combine the
two to get one intact runner. No trucks, but one is in the original
box which will come along.

I'm sure that someone can use these. First one to e-mail me with
their shipping address gets both, courtesy of your A1G webmaster.

George, check out .

I am hosting two sites with them - my home domain ()
and my rock band's site ().

The cost (first year) is just the $30 setup fee and then $84 per year for
200MB of space, plus e-mail, FrontPage extensions, etc.

I'm not trying to "sell" them - just a very happy customer!

Hello everyone,
I too have been having problems accessing the A1G site...

Getting into A1g for me requires that I hit refresh everytime to
access the site and the pictures. Though not all pictures work doing
this method.

I've been told that this works... sometimes, as you have discovered.

I do hope that George can work this problem out some how. Would

changing the site to another server fix the problem?

I believe that the ultimate solution is to move the entire A1G
enterprise over to my irwinsjournal.com site. I have pushed the
links page, the "send a note" page and the subscribe (to the UMTRR)
page over there and I have not had any issues since.

What I have to investigate is whether I have enough space left under
the current agreement for irwinsjournal.com to be able to shoehorn
in the A1G pages. I have to make sure that I leave enough room for
the ever expanding UMTRR stuff, and also enough for the vision of
having a seperate image for each of the A1G cars (as opposed to
the "group photos" that still exist on many of the pages). And
let's not forget that some folks have offered images of variations
(and trust me, there is no worry to feel that you have to rush to
get them to me!).

Also, would it be a help to George if he took the site to a

better place and ask for donations for the up keep of the
site?

I suppose it would be a help to get donations :-) but it's not
really necessary at this point. If my investigation reveals that
(a) I need lots more space <and> (b) it's going to cost lots more,
then I will consider some surplus liquidation to finance said
expansion before I consider passing the hat. And

Cheers,
George

Hello everyone,
I too have been having problems accessing the A1G site. Part of my problem which I hope I got fix is my aol (commonly know as aolhell). If I would of just stayed with version 8.0, everything would just be fine. But since up grading to 9.0 optimzed......well that's a whole "nother" story. Getting into A1g for me requires that I hit refresh everytime to access the site and the pictures. Though not all pictures work doing this method. I do hope that George can work this problem out some how. Would changing the site to another server fix the problem? Also, would it be a help to George if he took the site to a better place and ask for donations for the up keep of the site? And would everyone using this yahoogroup or anyone else accessing the page be willing to help out? (just a suggestion)
During Christmas time, I ran across a passenger set that someone put up for co-signment. This was a SP daylight set consisting of a ABA of Concor PA's (Kato drives in the "A"s with a dummy B) plus 9 cars which are mostly A1G Atlas/ Rivarossi. The passenger cars are not in their original condition as the original owner glued people in the seats and glued extra weight to the bottom of the cars. Two of the cars in the set are the Bachmann full domes which were custom painted and the original three wheeled trucks were replaced with two wheeled trucks. Though they are nice cars, SP never had full dome ones. They prefered to use the 3/4 dome types. After tweeking the Concor/Kato drives in the PA's, the set runs pretty nice. I got the whole set for a wopping $35.00
That was my own Christmas present to me!(lol) I would surely love to see Atlas getting back into making Passenger equipment once again even if they have the stuff made over seas in China. Someone needs to fill that void between Kato and Concor and offer a good quality passenger car at a affordable price while not waiting years and years between runs.
(Get it, (wait for ever) Kato<-----------------------------------------------------------"Atlas"--------------------------------(got what you want but it's so so) Concor.
That's just my two cents on that.

I haven't forgot the group, i am in the middle of the process of
moving from Texas back to Illinois, so everything is boxed up.

I currently have about 92% of the A1G freight cars now with 80% of
those MIB.

Once I get settled back in Illinois, I will get the digital images
made of the variations I posted about here late last year.

on the move again...

I have had problems like that too, George. I didn't say anything because I
have been having access problems using AOL with other sites, although it's
usually the "could not open the site....." type message rather than a 404.

Also, it has usually worked to just hit reload instead of clearing the cache.

So, it appears netcom may have some problems of its own.

Doug

This may seem ridiculous, but over the past few months I have been
having difficulty accessing my own site!

I use IE 6.0. If I try to hit the A1G homepage (or other pages
stored on my personal startpage gji.home.netcom.com like the kids'
photos, my links etc.) the browser hourglasses for a minute and then
returns a 404 error: "the page cannot be found." Well, of course the
page can be found-- I wrote it!

Clearing the browser's memory cache and temporary internet files
seems to fix the problem, at least most of the time.

But what I'm more concerned about is other people not being able to
access A1G, and thinking that it's "gone." Since the people on this
list are the most likely to visit the site, I thought I'd start by
asking you-- are you having this problem?

A permanent fix would be to move the site over to the main domain
irwinsjournal.com but that would just about use up the space
available to me. Going to another host (free or otherwise) isn't a
viable alternative.

Just thought I would let everybody know that bob111156 (Bob from
Plumsteadville, PA) has some parts for the steamers on *bay now. There are some 0-8-0
pilots and drivers, assorted chassis, and even a couple sets of brushes and
springs for all the Rivarossi motors.

Hi everybody,

As a result of discussions I have had with Peter Moore (thanks Peter!), I
have added lubrication instructions to the A1G reassembly page in each model
section. This should be much better than my former blanket statement at the top of
the page that said to lubricate all moving parts.

I hope it is all clear and welcome any comments or suggestions.

Hi everybody,

I have added thumbnails to the list of links to pictures of selected items on
the "Honorary Treble-O-Lectric Page" on my Atlas First Generation Motive
Power website.

I also reduced some of the larger images on the page to thumbnails that link
to larger pictures. This was done to enable the page to load faster for those
of us with dial-up connections (although it still takes a while with all those
thumbs :").

PS, sorry about the multiple postings but I don't know if everybody on one
list is on the others.

I now have several pictures of Treble-O items on the page, Nothing really
rare, but interesting nonetheless, and very colourful!

Got the new Walthers sale flyer in the mail yesterday. Usually this
is nothing to write home (or post) about, but this time there is a
possible exception.

As you probably know, when Atlas stopped marketing the A1G releases,
Rivarossi kept making the ones that they did for Atlas. A couple of
these were offered in non-A1G paint schemes, but most are still what
was done in the late 1960's and early 1970's-- perhaps making these
the longest running N Scale cars ever?

Eventually these all wound up in the Arnold stable when Arnold took
over Rivarossi.

The most recent iteration of these is a set of seven cars of various
types, one of which is an 86 foot high cub box car (in Santa Fe if I
recall correctly, not an original A1G paint scheme but nice!).
There is also an eight car set. All of these are freight cars.

The punch line: In this Walthers flyer each set is marked down to
just $13.97! That's less in 2004 dollars than they originally cost
when I bought them.

There are also sale prices on the Riva/Arnold iterations of the "cow
and calf" switchers and some passenger cars. The passenger car
prices, while good for Walthers, are still beaten by some other
venues (like Train World in New York that has selected sets for
$14.99).

My flyer has a code that enables free shipping with $100 minimum
order.

No, they aren't true A1G's, but "stand ins". Considering how old
the tooling is they really don't hold up too badly. I'd take these
as "entry level cars" before some other stuff, that's for sure.
Perhaps some early holiday shopping for gifts for new entrants, kids
in the scale, et cetera...

Cheers,
Your list owner

P.S. If anyone does go for this, please report back to the gang...

Hi everybody,

I am pleased to announce that I now have "The Honorary Treble-O-Lectric Page"
on my Atlas First Generation Motive Power website. I just had to include this
because these trains are what I started with and also were a very important
historical part of N scale.

Included are some photos, a color table of available items in the line, and a
brief history of Lone Star and their trains.

Please have a look and I welcome any comments or suggestions. Link below:

I happened to stop in an old hobby shop in Austin, Tx this morning
looking for a certain magazine and happened to notice they had 5 old
Atlas cars in the N scale showcase. Those cars were:

2295 DuPont
2312 Union Carbide
2321 Shipper's Car Line
2342 Norfolk & Western
2385 New Haven

I found these cars to basically be never used new stock that somehow
managed to stay on the shelves for years. The 2385 is what caught
my attention, being that it is hard to come by, especially in this
good a shape!

Yes, I bought all 5 cars.

I think its time to list another batch of A1G for sale as I have
some more duplicate and surplus cars.
