Anyone seen the new Atlas 027 Ore cars featured in the Oct. issue? This is the closest I could find of a photo and details: 
They look eminently kit-bashable for the Sodor Island Lines…
I saw it too, but haven’t seen one in real life yet. I like the look. They do look like the Thomas ones. I am debating of buying them to run behind a Camalback I kitbashed from a Marx wind-up. I think they would look good.
I’ve got two of them, they were a Father’s Day present and I like them a lot. They are heavy for the size and really neat. I think they were about $25 each? Maybe it was $22?
Love to see what you do to these! Make sure you post photos!
