My neighbor asked me to look at some trains left to his daughter by her grandfather. Everything was mixed up in a large box, locos, cars, track etc.
They seem to be 20 or more years old. We got the trains up and running.
The young lady would like to know what goes in which box.
There are some plastic boxes with no descriptions only numbers, she would like to know what belongs in each box.
Atlas # 2273, 4101, 4072, and 4074
Also there are 4 passenger cars which may be Con Cor? the boxes are numbered
4601,4611,4621 and4641.
As I have not a clue about N scale and there are no LHS stocking Atlas N scale here, I thought that perhaps someone would be kind enough to help.

I have done some searching through what little info I have, but I cannot find the Atlas numbers you refer to. You may need to find a collector or archivist with a lot of old catalogues!
A letter to the editor of N scale amgazine may help, here is the URL:

Good luck!
Thank you jdtoronto, I will try your suggestion.

Thank you DSchmitt for the information. Riki, that’s the little girls name, will be pleased when I tell her. She likes to keep things tidy in their boxes when not in use. I should learn something from her. So the Amtrak cars were Con Cor’s, I thought they might be.
Thanks again,
William
