- A brief overview of the new Atlas HO Modern Commuter Train, featuring the ALP-45PD Locomotive and Multi-Level Cab Car and Trailers. The great new models are arriving soon at a local Atlas Dealer near you!
My wish list for future model train tech:
1.) Radio throttles/cabs/controllers with rechargeable batteries that come with a cradle (like cordless phones) that keep the battery charged when in the cradle.
2.) POV - Like model planes have been doing for years, put a micro camera in the loco at the driver's seat position, and put a video screen on the throttle/cab/controller so you can watch your loco run around the layout from inside the loco as you drive it. Quadcopters have been doing this for years, and other model planes have been doing it as well, so the concept is viable.
3.) Attach tension sensors to the couplers on the locomotive and have the decoder adjust the momentum automagically based on the value returned by the sensor.
4.) Automatic double heading. With metal couplers isolated from the chassis, add additional wires to the decoder to connect to both couplers, then have the two decoders in the two locos recognize that they're double-headed due to the electrical connection by the couplers and both decoders send their commands to each other so that both decoders respond to the commands sent to either one.
5.) Passenger car doors that open under control of the locomotive (through a signal passed down through the couplers). I.e., set a CV on the loco, and all the doors on the coaches open.
Just don't forget about us N scalers! :D
I know! Would love these to be made in N scale! Kato though currently makes an N scale Metra and Virgina Railway set which are both awesome.
That's Norfolk Southern's Lehigh Line!!!
West of Port Reading Jct. (Manville) the Lehigh Line is controlled by NS. East of PRJ it is controlled by Conrail (Shared Assets Operations).
P32AC-DM in MNR scheme with Shoreliners! Or M7As or M8s.
Great narration and review Rob.
PL42AC's and Comet V's please!!!!! The trains look amazing!! I can't wait!
YES! Please do the PL42AC's and Comet V's. That would be great!
Pika Chu You would have my purchase for a few PL42AC's, Comet rebuilds and Comet V cabs!
Please let Comets and Arrow III's follow!!
YES!!!!!
Well, your NJ Transit models are an ABSOLUTE hit!
you guys should make NJT 4109 "CNJ" Heritage for HO and N scale that would be awesome.
Look incredible. What's the time frame to see them in stores?
If all goes well, hopefully in stores by later this month or early March.
How about some more MBTA passenger cars?
The Bombardier CTC-1B cab cars(1600 series), trailers 200, 300, and 600 series), and the 500/1500 MBB cars?
Atlas, I have already preordered your 2nd Multilevel series. These seem to be selling VERY well. It has been widely agreed on that Atlas would do VERY well producing: Comet II (original and rebuild), Comet V, Comet IIB, GP40PH, GP40FH, PL42AC's. There are many commuter modelers than a lot of manufacturers realized. Keep up the fantastic work!
I model Metra, so the F40PHM-2s and stainless steel coaches and cab cars would be very useful for me.
I have the WHOLE series ordered and I am not even from NJ, just that NJT equipment is so interesting. A few of us are hoping Comet II rebuilds/Comet V cab cars/and other NJT equipment follow this!!!
Any chance of this being made in N scale too? Septa would be another good one to make!
Is it the same with the AMT version?
You should also make veterans versions too
Atlas will you be doing a mbta comutor rail passenger set in the near future
Now give us an ALP46.
When modeling the Bergen County, Main Line, and Pascack Valley line make sure when running single deckers to have an MTA marked car in the mix.
Fantastic job guys! I really hope you make this in O scale some point.
I have tried to run it but first try made it worse, My dad fix that so it did work.
what is the address of the model train shop atlas i would love to visit i live in new jersey and i constantly see new jersey transit trains
I hope to acquire one of these trains and I'm not even from the USA! I'm currently looking around the web for suitable dealers so I can order one.
