The Illinois-Iowa Railfan

Hello all,

I was looking on the Atlas website and found the new “Trainman” series GP38-2 models. They look pretty good except they lack the details like metal grabs, air hoses, windshield wipers, lift rings, etc. Other than that they look good, I hear they have the same top of the line Atlas drives as the Master Series, just less detail.

ROADNAMES:

Burlington Northern
Burlington Northern Santa Fe (H1 paint)
Chicago and North Western (w/Operation Lifesaver logo)
Conrail
CSX Transportation (YN3 paint)
Soo Line
Union Pacifc (modern)
