(erielack) Stock getting better--ELAtlas ACF 3-bay

[Hhaines_@_aol.com]

Dear list:

I would like to thank those ELHS or list members that helped Atlas with the 
information to develop the EL ACF 3-bay hoppers.  I got mine today, and I 
recall some members helped with the type of top hatch and lettering.  This 
car is amazing.  I recall when I first got one of the Accurail cars, and 
thought that was great.  But this Atlas car has detail that I can see when it 
is standing still.  For moving models, Athearn does well.  

The earlier models provide a comparison on how things have improved, and they 
really have.  The new model is not cheap, and not American made, but 
detailed. The vast majority of my fleet will still be the less detailed but 
good performing models.  However, for those few close-up shots, these will 
work.  And it seems that things just keep getting better.

Anyone know or hear anything more about the Spectrum passenger cars?
