    Good to see something new from Atlas.

    Not sure what's up Atlas and Life Like (Walthers) has fallen off producing new items for N Scale. You ought to see what some of the newer products makers are coming up with.

    Atlas hasn't fallen off. The BLMA purchase alone is more new product than most other companies over the last few years.

    They bought existing tooling of product already out but we have seen very little of new stuff. Maybe we will in the future but I think there may be problems ahead with China's hold on those companies that went to China in the hope of lowering costs. My crystal ball clouded up long ago so I got nothing definite yet but the future could be very volatile for the industry.

    I would love to fill my fleet of M/T open auto racks with F-100s but I'm afraid the cost and weight will keep me from doing it...But a few will find homes on the layout. Loved the twin I-beams and FE motors, now them were trucks.
