Atlas HO Scale Conrail Quality Dash8-40CW

You'll need a Dash 9 cab for that. Two of them were wrecked and GE replaced the cabs with two NS Dash 9 cabs they had on hand. After the CR split, CSX got one and NS got one.

Looks right at home on NS:


But looks like an ugly duckling on CSX:

I know I want to model cr 6192. I have pics of that unit in West Springfield. Also I have seen a unit with the marker lights replace with reg lights too. I am just trying to do something different. lol

Is there a great deal of difference between the HO Bachman and Atlas..? Stone

Yes. The Bachmann is inferior detail wise and operationally.

They're not worth much. Some and I mean some are good runners though

Ok, thanks guys. I was in a hobby store today and saw some Bachman units.. and they looked pretty good. Just wondered if they made a leep forward or something. I'm planning on doing an Ex-Conrail unit lettered for CN but still in blue.. Stone
