Go to the Atlas site and get the stock number(s). Then go to Google and use Atlas and the stock number.

The cars I am looking for are Atlas # 1556 - 3&4

Anyone out there have any ?... They are not listed with Atlas anymore.

Thanks WP Steve

I will look for these at both of my LHS's next week.

I believe South Park Hobby in Middletown, OH has some.

I do not think they are currently being made, however, they are listed on the Altas website.

FYI, Mitch from HobbiesUSA just sent out a notice that Atlas is releasing a new bunch of 11, 000 gallon tank cars in June of next year, and one of them (two actually, in different road numbers) is the Hooker orange w/black center strip. The part numbers are 1074-1 and 1074-2.

Not exactly what you're looking for, but the other day at my LHS I see that Athearn has (re-released?) Hooker chemical tank car kits.

Also, though I don't know if they're still available, but I seem to recall MDC having a Hooker tank car in their shorty, "Beer Can" kit.

I checked both LHS's in my area and show no tank cars availible by those numbers presented.

Best of luck in trying to find your product!
