Is this car going to be in the regular Atlas line with all the great details we can get? Or is this a Trainman offering with basic, but still worthy detail?
Is there a target release? Say a year-ish? Less than or more than? Just an idea y'all have agreed upon and the Research and development still leave this a few years out? Some sort of hint here would be pretty nice.
Great looking proto-photo on the link!!

Will be great for modern modelers. Not my cup of tea, I'm afraid.

Finally a modern steel coil car. I hope they are inline with the quality of the Red Caboose coil cars.
And to think, I was just about to the point where I was going to wind down my freight car purchases! |

Atlas,
This is a great announcement but please keep it in the Master Line and try to keep it under 35.00. I'll buy a few for sure as it fits the modern period perfectly. After this announcement, do you have anything left for the National Train show in July? Hopefully, there are a couple of vehicles to be announced, one in the Master Line, one in the Main Street Motors line!

Absolutely fantastic! They will be brand new in the late-'90s era that I model, but count me in for every CSX number that you guys are willing to produce! I'm hoping 3 in each run. Let me know if you guys need any more photos. Thanks a lot, Atlas!
