Responding to Joshua Blay's post of a few days ago...

I'm not sure the accuracy of Atlas' car compared to the prototype (I've attached a shot of DL&W 85075 so you can see the prototype
car), but the lettering is pretty much dead-on on the Atlas model (and I'm guessing they have photos of the numbers they're doing in
the "billboard" scheme they're running).

Personally, unless you're a REAL nitpicky person, I think the cars look good and they should work for most DL&W modelers. Not sure
how many (if any?) lasted to EL, however.

Mike Del Vecchio might be able to provide an answer about the Atlas car's accuracy compared to the Lackawanna prototype.
