Atlas Unboxing - November 2020

[@KevinsTrainsGLE]

I'm a long time fan of all Atlas products. Quality and reliable every time.

[@epiccsx]

Yessir

[@Ericstrains]

Yep

[@aj3751]

On a nasty rainy day in the northeast, THIS is exactly what I look forward to. Very nice! And a patriotic consist at that!

[@anthonyprslsouthjerseymode4220]

Atlas O is absolutely phenomenal! I LOVE all their products both in 3 and 2 rail configurations. In fact, I was lucky enough to pick up a plastic Atlas O logo wall sign from a hobby shop/hardware store that shut their doors last year. Sadly the store is now gone but I will proudly hang that sign on the wall above my future O scale layout.

[@Ericstrains]

Nice!!!

[@henryszubielski8601]

Eric, I enjoy how you combine your love of both hobbies. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving! Thanks for the review.

[@DocSmokeyJoe]

well ya need a knife to open your new toys :)

[@Ericstrains]

Thanks

[@felixthetrainfan4819]

The tankers are really cool! I like how the wheels are!!

[@palmettostaterailfan7019]

Cant wait to see which HO Locomotive(s) you get! And that CSX First responders ES44AH looks Amazing! Great video as always

[@MattsTrainsTractors]

Wow! I personally am a huge fan of tanker cars, knowing that atlas makes such great quality cars, has now convinced me to get some of them. Thanks for another great review, Eric!

[@Ericstrains]

Thanks!

[@mjc6184]

The 25.5K Trinity Tank Cars are indeed the finest on the market - to Eric's point. I usually paint the bearing caps a light blue color to enhance the realism a little bit - really makes them sharp/stick out. Enjoy them Eric - they look amazing on your fantastic layout!

[@Mnrr6131]

7:32 nice that atlas went on to detail the axle covers on the trucks.

[@Ericstrains]

Yeah Atlas doesn’t miss much

I haven’t watched this channel in 4 years and it is exactly the way it was when I left

[@1940limited]

The tank cars are beautiful. I also noticed your nicely weathered Cotton Belt caboose.

[@danieljaime22]

I loved the UP yellow cars in contrast on the bridge to the Beautiful Red Lionel First Responders Locomotive 🚂

[@arduous1914]

I got an Atlas NW caboose and I love it, it is beautiful, I love their rolling stock and that stuff.

[@pokemonpreadythepokemonmaniac]

Hey Eric, have you heard you heard of Norfolk & Western 2300 “Jawn Henry”? Sunset 3rd Rail makes O-scale models of it.

[@Chessie1985]

Excellent new items Eric!!!

[@paulcheatham822]

Great trains and layout, I enjoy it and miss it also.

[@Garlic227]

Awesome new rail trucks there

[@rickochoa5450]

I love those tankers

[@emanresuaton]

The tank cars are beautiful. It would be cool if the lids opened up, and you could put a liquid in them. It would be best not to put anything else other than water.

[@allohiorailfan6123]

Even though I model in HO, I enjoy the Atlas models I currently have. The detail is very good along with the build quality. The models that have sound, the sounds are really good. However, the only issue I have with Atlas products in terms of locomotives is on the sound side of things. The sound files they use is really good, but the problem lies in delivery. On the only locomotive I have from them that is equipped with sound (a C40-8W), I had to turn the volume up because the speaker doesn’t do a good job delivering the sound. But I’m able to look over it and still enjoy the model for what it is and I look forward to adding more Atlas products to my collection.

[@michaelbujaki2462]

I used to do N scale, and Atlas locomotives were the only ones I could get that could compete with the power of an antique Arnold Rapido.

[@jeffstrains4014]

Always enjoy your videos

[@1940limited]

It appears you get KD #5s with HO cars from Atlas instead of the stupid horn-hook couplers. Atlas has always made nice stuff

[@ontrackstudios5357]

When I saw the small box I was going to go and write a comment about it looking ho scale..... And wow it surprised me, great video Eric!!!

[@Ericstrains]

Thanks!

[@islandofmisfittrains5114]

Awesome stuff as always. Do you ever check out other train lovers channels and layouts?

[@bfsproductionsytp]

Hey Eric, what video is that credits clip of the coal tender emptying? Great review as always!

[@reaperfellsans8478]

That was Eric's review of the Lionel Visionline Big Boy

[@Toaster844]

It’s cool that you’re getting HO products! In my opinion HO and O are my favorite scales even tho that I don’t have O!

[@Ericstrains]

Thanks

[@Toaster844]

@@Ericstrains no problem Eric!

[@frankierailfan4014]

I wanna start buying atlas for the rail cars and Lionel for mainly the locomotives

[@tjprptchable]

Cool tankers

[@davidstrainsandlego]

Those tank cars are nice

[@rickochoa5450]

I see those all the time in my state.

[@ronhood7773]

So half 0 is the new black? Lol. MTH HO scale has electrocoupler's along with sound/smoke.

[@timbober1]

I don’t have trains anymore, a guy can dream right, love my knives though.

[@MrBnsftrain]

If you ever get an HO engine to review, you should review it a jlwii200's layout since he reviewed an O gauge loco on yours

[@Ericstrains]

That’s already in motion

[@jml8975]

You could run your HO scale trains on your On30 loop.

[@40belowful]

love the top knife :)

[@mistermadmachine6311]

Does the first responders scheme come standard with the new ES44

[@doubleutubefan5]

Still weird to see my name in the rolling credits. great video though. Tank cars have always been a favorite of mine

[@Ericstrains]

Thanks!

[@williamkolina3988]

Eric how come no armored shields on tankers.i thought that is standard on modern tankers.its true beautiful but delicate.i broke ladders taking Gunderson out of box.stupid me.love your videos

[@AbelG8781]

Wrong type of tank car, these are Trinity 25.5k tanks, you're thinking the 30k Ethanol tanks, those are made by Scaletrains correctly.

[@epiccsx]

Are those Atlas HO Scale coal hoppers in stock now? I recently checked and they were a back order item. I should actually get some of those for my coal train!

[@Ericstrains]

I believe so

[@epiccsx]

@@Ericstrains They all sold out!

I asked on Patreon and he said he will :)

Jump to 2:40 to skip the HO stuff and get to the O scale pieces.

It was that unbearable? lol

[@jonwebb5241]

Models are nice. But as an avid knife collector, use a carpet knife to cut paper.

[@Ericstrains]

It’s overkill but I do it showcase my knife collection.

[@jonwebb5241]

@@Ericstrains okay. I get it. 😎

[@AbelG8781]

I got 18 of them in 2 rail when they were released recently, my only complaint is that they're a bit on the heavy side, so they dont roll all that freely. Oh whale!!

[@Sparky_307]

Is that flange grind and squeal coming for the cars or the locomotive?

If your concerned about the environmental aspects styrofoam, they’re not using real styrofoam. They’re using the cornstarch packing peanuts that dissolve in water and are environmentally friendly.
