$100.00 for an O Scale Boxcar?!? Review of the 2021 Atlas Christmas Car

[@JDStucks]

Congratulations on the birth of your son! And keep doing what you're doing with the videos. You're doing an awesome job!

[@TheRambles]

Thanks man! This comment means a lot to me.

[@drewsagona4051]

What a heartwarming video Tony! Love it my man!

[@Nathan5Chime]

That is a nice car. Hope you get it back by Christmas. Congratulations. It's never too early to start a tradition or keep them going.

Enjoyed the video. I think the lights are cool. I have held off for a while, I just concerned that I will break them in the process of handling the cars... Congratulations with the birth of your son ! Another Reading fan! Mile post 32 , Reading, Conrail, & NS line

[@TheRambles]

Thank you! The reading Historical Society in Hamburg, PA really cemented my love for that RR.

[@thetrainboard2772]

Just dont handle the car by the lights

[@wayneantoniazzi2706]

And a Merry Christmas to you Tony, and your new arrival! Congratulations! The smoke? Sounds like a bad circuit board. Unfortunately that's the thing with boards, they can last for 20 years or more or blow tomorrow, you just never know. Trust me, I worked with copiers for 30 years and we had boards blow right out of the box.

[@TheRambles]

thank you, I was able to get a replacement. Alas has really good customer service.

[@wayneantoniazzi2706]

@@TheRambles That they do, they're a very professional and righteous outfit!

[@joegennari395]

[@TheRambles]

Awsum Train car. ❤️🚂 🎄🎅🏻🎄🎅🏻👍👍👍👍👍so kool

[@davidstevens9002]

I think the car looks very nice but I would not be able to give 100 for it. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@josepholexa565]

I've seen it a few weeks ago, but I never liked the art work. Later I realized why I didn't like it, because the way it's written makes it look like someone tagged the boxcar. That's just my taste, I'm sure some will like it. I like the Lionel artwork, and the MTH artwork, but can't bring myself to buy this one.

[@NemesisEnforcer4937]

Yeah at first glance I definitely thought it was graffiti also.

[@jebbthetrainkid1281]

The Companies are pricing us out of buying new stuff. It won't force alot of us out of the Hobby because we can continue to run what we have. But its always nice to get a new item now and then but the prices are getting ridiculous.

[@Geo3Rail]

Bravo Tony! You have a voice!!!!!

[@northpennvalleysteamrailroad]

Awesome review! Although these boxcars are pretty cool, I would never pay 100.00 dollars for one piece of rolling stock. I do like how atlas is making MTH stuff though!

[@TheRambles]

Yeah. I think your making a good decision.

[@paulmatulavich7321]

I like keeping up on the latest modern-era rolling stock, but I am strictly a postwar Lionel collector. A $100 freight car is a bargain compared to postwar rolling stock.

[@gusshadleythelunaticfromar7125]

Well iam just getting into the hobby I have a few lion chief.

[@gusshadleythelunaticfromar7125]

Hey Rambles, lionel did these Bradley cars, like the Penn central and New haven now they are pricy but they are growing on me, I had a set of them by American flyer, I gifted them back in 83, wow these are expensive now.

[@TheRambles]

I got started with lioncheif. The Pennsylvania flyer. There’s a lot of debate over whether the price is higher now vs in the past when adjusting for inflation. Thanks for watching!

[@OgaugeTrainsplusslotCars]

Nice box cars.
