Hi gang-
THE BIG NEWS!!!
We finally have our new web site ready for customer ordering or just
looking=20
around. It has a "shopping cart" feature for ordering, a search=20
engine for a variety of search criteria such as: manufacturer,=20
roadname, model type, scale, and others. It has secure credit card=20
entry system and other wonderful gimmicks. It's interesting to note
that some customers have found the site by accident and some have used
it,=20
but we didn't know they had been there. I assure you it is now linked
properly.
It probably also has some glitches in it that we haven't discovered=20
even though we have beat the devil out of it in testing, so let us=20
know if you come across any of them so we can fix them. We are=20
attacking the "spelling" errors as fast as we find them so be patient.
We will be supporting both web sites for a three month time period and=20
at that point, if everyone feels comfortable with it, switch over=20
entirely to the new one. We would also like your comments on the new=20
site. Feel free to send us your opinion, good or bad. Thank you.=20
You can find it at:

NEW!!! Atlas RS-1 in Morristown & Erie #15 (Actually announced. The=20
rumor was true!)
The RS-1 was introduced by ALCO in March of 1941 with the delivery of
the first of two units to the Rock Island. Combining the accessibility
of a
switching locomotive and the higher-speed tracking of a road unit, the
RS-1 started a revolution in locomotive design that was soon embraced
by all of the major diesel-electric builders.
