    Again, is this just universally wrong or did Atlas pick an actual prototype for this?

    No a clue. Not a big deal to me though, but to others it might.

    Here's one that has it:

    I wonder what convinced atlas to do that version. Most of the major railroads I saw seem to have the offset extended range dynamics.


    Here's another

    Sorry I find it weird that internet meme's have made it to model railroading forums.

    Don't make me go out and film a "Harlem Shake" video with a bunch of railfans in it.

    For those of you that use the Google Chrome browser...

    And, use at your own risk...

    And if you use it, turn down volume, not safe for work, etc.

    Maybe this will lighten the mood around here a bit...it's pretty cool especially on certain websites. (try it on YouTube, it's pretty good)

    Is this what you are offering for why eastern stuff is not made? From what I have seen anything that is made is subject to being panned. But at the end of the day the PRR stuff is bought. Look, PRR stuff sells in O scale. It sells in HO scale. Why won't it sell in N scale? Four manufacturers make PRR K4's in HO but try to find one. BLI makes the whole line of PRR steam in HO and has sold out several runs of each. Is it really unthinkable that it would sell in N scale too? What evidence would cause you to think that? Bowser sold out multiple runs of PRR H21 and Gla hoppers. These were a PRR design and while other roads did have some the PRR ones are sold out and the others are still available. Same with the cabin cars. The stuff sells. Look at the BLMA NS Topgons. These were older hopper cars rebodied by NS. No other road had them. BLMA is on their third run of them. The idea that Eastern stuff does not sell is a bunch malarkey. It sells.

    Well, this one has pretty much gone off the rails, so to speak. So it's probably time to let it fade away.
