Atlas "Master" Freight Car, "Trainman" Freight Car and Structure Announcement for October 2007
Atlas HO Gunderson 48' All Purpose Well Car
New Tooling!
Gunderson's 48' all-purpose well car was introduced into service in 1993. The car was a design extension of previous well cars that carried containers only. The all-purpose feature meant that it could carry either containers or trailers giving it greater versatility for intermodal trains. The height of the sides are lower than previous container-only well cars to allow trailers to clear while being loaded into the car by lift equipment. This design also featured two hitches for transporting two 28-foot trailers.
Standard MSRP: $24.95
Undecorated MSRP: $19.95
Undecorated MSRP: $19.95
Estimated Delivery: March 2008
Features:
- Floor with correct ovals and cut-outs.
- Two hitches
- Etched walkways
- Four IBC bins.
- Detailed brake components

Atlas HO Trainman® AAR 70 Ton 3-Bay Open Hopper
with Arched Ends!
(Technical artwork shown)
This familiar hopper was an industry standard on many railroads since the 1930Â’s. It was adopted by the AAR as a recommended design, but fell out of favor by the mid-1950s. While offering greater capacity over cars with conventional flat sides, the original open hoppers created corrosive interaction between acidic coal and the carÂ’s joints, leading to costly rebuilding programs.
Standard MSRP: $12.95
Undecorated MSRP: $9.95
Estimated Delivery: April 2008
Features:
- True scale dimensions with accurate details
- Weighted, detailed underframes
- Equipped with AccuMate® Knuckle Couplers
- Trucks equipped with free-rolling metal wheels
- Accurate painting and lettering
- Removable coal load

Atlas HO Middlesex Manufacturing Company
New Model!
(Prototype photo and technical artwork shown)
AtlasÂ’ newest Master Line structure is the HO Scale Middlesex Manufacturing Company. Its design is based on a well-known landmark in New Jersey that was built in 1883 and continued operations until well into the 1990s. Railroad tracks originally built by the Pennsylvania Railroad lie adjacent to the building. These tracks were used to transport raw materials in via train to be processed by its some 350+ workers, which were then again shipped by rail in their finished forms to their destinations.
Based on the original four-story brick building, the Middlesex Manufacturing Company features eight chimneys, a loading dock, elevator tower and entry stairway. On the track-facing side are several loading doors for boxcars to load and unload their freight through. Optional window blanks to brick out the windows and window vents will be included with the model.
Currently, the building site is being used for condominiums, making this model a fine tribute to the now demolished historical edifice. A March 2008 delivery is expected for the first shipment.
Â
Estimated Delivery:
March 2008
Features:
- Authentic 19th Century Style
- Usable for almost any industry
- Loading dock
- Brick panels to blank out windows
- Approximate size: 15"L x 5.5"D
