An MR quick look: HO Thrall covered hopper

For the price it sounds like another winner for Atlas’s Trainman line. They have brought a line of trains and accessories to the average person wanted to get started in the hobby or the old timer looking for some cars to build up a roster. Now we need a few simple kits to get some of these newcomers interested in building some of the medium to semi difficult kits that are out there.

i think it is great looking freight car does in come in n-scale thanks

Great looking car. What other road names are available?

Hi John, Roadnames are: State of Alaska; The Andersons; BNSF; RF&P; NOKL; DM&E and Union Equity. Everything Atlas makes, you can find at atlasrr.com I like these hoppers, cool names for a bargain, only wish they had finer roofwalks… yeah I know I’m kinda wanting more for less :wink: I hope this helps!

I recently purchased two of these, and for the price, you cannot beat the quality, and the detail. Just put Kadee 5’s on, and you have a good quality model. They have the correct 36" whells, that are free rolling as well. Overall a great model.

I HAVE 2 AND AM VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE QUALITY YOU RECEIVE FOR THE PRICE. I LOVE THE TRAINMAN LINE AND ALWAYS HAVE MY EYES PEELED FOR THEIR NEWEST RELEASES.GOOD JOB ATLAS!!
