Atlas O Premier streamlined passenger cars were the subject of a surprise product announcement in late December. The manufacturer will be offering the 70-foot cars in two- and four-car sets as well as single cars, all in multiple paint schemes.

Atlas O will be offering six four-car sets. Paint schemes include Delaware & Hudson (baggage car, coach, diner, and New York Central observation car), Erie Lackawanna (baggage car, two coaches, and diner), New York Central (1938 and 1940 schemes with two sleepers, diner, and observation car; Empire State Express with two coaches, diner, and observation car), and Maine Eastern/Morristown & Eastern (diner and three coaches). The four-car sets are priced between $479.95 and $499.95.
Two-car sets
The five two-car streamlined passenger car sets will be decorated for D&H (coach and NYC diner), EL (coach and sleeper), and New York Central (1938 and 1940 schemes with Railway Post Office and sleeper; Empire State Express with two coaches). The two-car sets have a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $239.95 to $249.95.

Wrapping up the announcements are three single cars: Maine Eastern/Morristown & Erie coach Magnolia, D&H Vista-Dome Bluff Point, and EL Railway Post Office No. 692. The single cars are priced between $119.95 and $129.95.
