I will acquire them for Stores if people are interested. There will be two road numbers.

Post by: Tom Kepshire on April 28, 2015, 05:58:21 pm: Our order finally arrived. Due to the limited number available, I will offer them to Monon Board members, before any listing on the on-line web site. I have contacted Atlas and the entire production run is sold out. I tried to double our order and was not able to do so.

Each RTR caboose will sell for $27.00, which includes shipping. Indiana residents need to add 7% sales tax. If you want one, or both, please advise. Those interested can message me here on the Monon Board and I will send instructions.

Post by: Tim T Swan on April 29, 2015, 02:45:41 pm: I'll take the one I indicated, Tom. Any number. I'll be stripping it any anyhow to back date it into the CIL era and its original paint scheme.

Post by: Tom Kepshire on May 04, 2015, 02:15:47 pm: Just an Update. There are still several of the Atlas Cabooses available. I added a listing on the on-line store.

Post by: Mark Johnson on May 10, 2015, 09:09:28 am: Mine arrived 3 days ago (thanks Tom!). It is a thing of beauty, a worthy addition to my collection. Good details, and nicely weighted for operation, too! I did notice that the box had one car number and the model has the other - but that makes absolutely no difference to me!

I now can construct an entire HO train consist of Monon rolling stock...thanks mostly to Stores!

Post by: Tom Kepshire on May 10, 2015, 10:25:37 am: Yes Mark. I noticed a couple more that way. Problems overseas I am guessing. I was able to switch boxes. It also explains why initially I thought I was shorted 1 of one of the RN's. Glad you like it.
