Thanks. These are the first items I have EVER pre-ordered. I don't usually trust catalog artwork and such but I thought that this time I could rely on Atlas. I am not disappointed.

Nice Atlas.  They are the Conrail that was bought by NS. Wink [;)]  That makes them even better. Big Smile [:D]  Great video.  Great photos.

Very nice.  Enjoyed hearing an Atlas horn.  I have also enjoyed seeing your web pages and videos expecially since they are heavy with Chessie.

Sign - Welcome [#welcome] to the forum here !!  Very nice engine & video !!  A lot of us have seen your pictures & videos & a very nice layout you have  !!  I have an older Atlas B-40 dash 8 engine with the Conrail labor management logo on the head end of it. A great puller, only 4 wheel trucks but the detail is terriffic  !!  Oh & it has the alternating ditch lights, wonder if your new ones have that ? !!

Thanks & hope you enjoy the forum !!

Here's the new Alco C630 from Atlas.
I was hoping they'd be fantastic, and they are!

In gorgeous Conrail blue.

Nice sounds. Neat horn. Very smooth
