    Will the release of these Fords qualify Atlas for a bailout?!!!

    The first generation Explorers went on sale in March of 1990 if that helps. It is only the colors that make these 1993 models.

    There's only 2 problems I have -

    1) They're Exploders not Explorers and need to be properly notated in all of the Atlas documentation :mbiggrin:

    2) I don't have a layout to put a couple of these, properly half destroyed like the real ones, onto; nor do I have the proper equipment (yet) to create and produce N-scale DGNO decals to put on the doors of those white and suitably half-destroyed vehicles. They would look perfect in white with the decals next to my depots just like the real ones do. Beaten up vehicles next to equally beaten up depots next to equally beaten up locomotives, all due to employees not giving a crap about their equipment (or their own personal property in some cases). :mmad:

    Those will help modernize our layouts! Good to see Ford is still licensing products.
