Press Release
For Immediate Release
October 9, 2006
Atlas O Announces Their First
Steam Locomotive
Hillside, NJ?On Monday, October 9th, Atlas O
announced their first steam locomotive, the USRA 0-6-0 Switcher.
This locomotive marks Atlas O?s long awaited entry into producing
steam locomotives and is the first in the new Founders? Series of
locomotives that Atlas O will be producing. Originally hinted at on
the rear covers of Atlas O?s locomotive and freight car catalogs in
2005-2006, this locomotive will be on display at the TCA Meet in
York on October 19th and play a prominent role in the Atlas O
?Behind the Booth? Seminar.
"The 'Founders? Series' is dedicated to the two
individuals that are credited with starting Atlas--Stephan
Schaffan, (1877-1948) and his son Stephan J. Schaffan Jr.
(1918-1983), whose commitment to excellence in tool-making,
engineering and the model railroad industry continues to
serve as a daily example and guiding
light to present and future generations of Atlas
employees and family members." said Thomas Haedrich, CEO of Atlas
Model Railroad Co. and Atlas O, LLC.
?This locomotive, and Atlas O?s participation in
the steam locomotive market, has long been clamored for.? said Jim
Weaver, Vice President of Atlas O, LLC. ?Like any Atlas O
locomotive, the greatest care has been taken in the production of
this model so it not only does justice to a great era of
railroading, but to the Atlas O customers who have high
expectations for such a product.?
The 0-6-0 is based upon a standardized design
created by the United States Railway Administration (USRA) and was
a frequent sight on railroads big and small throughout the country.
Four road names will be available upon release, including
Burlington, Central of New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Union Pacific.
Two road numbers will be available per road name. A painted but
unlettered model will also be offered.
This die-cast locomotive and tender will
feature railroad specific details, separately applied whistle and
bell cords & boiler piping, opening cab roof hatches, movable
cab windows and engineer and fireman figures. Also included will be
truck chains on the tender, an illuminated headlight and tender
back-up light, opening tender water hatch for easy access to
control switches and more.
As with all new Atlas O locomotives, the steam
locomotive will be accurately painted and printed and released in
3-Rail TMCC, 2-Rail Silver and 2-Rail Gold versions.
The 2-Rail Silver model features include an
operating smoke unit and full-scale couplers and wheelsets. Silver
Series locomotives are DCC ready, but not equipped.
The 2-Rail Gold version features the QSI?
Quantum System? (for authentic steam locomotive sounds, squealing
brakes, Doppler effect, coupler impact sounds and more), an
operating smoke unit and full scale couplers and wheelsets.
3-Rail TMCC features include EOB? Speed Control
Technology, Lionel? TrainMaster? Command Equipped RailSounds?
digital sound, and operating smoke unit and operating electro
couplers.
The minimum diameter curve for the 3-Rail
version is O-36. The minimum radius curve for 2-Rail versions is
24?.
The 0-6-0 is expected to be available for
ordering in the Atlas O November 2006 Mini-Catalog. Delivery is
slated for April 2007. Pricing is TBA-York. More information as it
becomes available will be posted.
