Atlas announces N scale offset 2 bay hoppers in N&W

[NW Modeling List]

Atlas has announced their 2 bay offset hopper in the N&W 1963-1970 "hamburger" scheme:

These represent class H-51 ex-P&WV cars built in 1947 - acquired by N&W in the October 1964 merger. Cars in this class were off the roster by the early 1970s (per the Dow book).

Based on the artwork and recent Atlas N&W hopper offerings, I expect the printing and lettering to be crisp and accurate.

I don't think I mentioned this before, but the next run of Atlas N scale Alco C420s will be offered in N&W:
