A Brief History of the Atlas HO Scale NJ TRANSIT Modern Commuter Train
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- Out of all of the reactions to the recent announcement of the Atlas HO Modern Commuter Train, the one that pops up the most is, "Where can I learn more about it?" To make things easier, the lead designer on the project at Atlas, VP of Product Development Rob Pisani, has compiled an informative video that details the history of the locomotive and cars that make up the train.
Of course the next question we get most is, "Where can I buy it?" Fortunately, we've answered that one in the video as well with a listing at the end of every Atlas dealer who had pre-ordered the product from us. Give them a call and they'll be happy to help you out.

Atlas you have ventured into a big part that is lacking nowadays. There are many commuter modelers. I have every product of this NJT series on order. Please consider Comets (with a Comet V cab), ALP-46 and PL42AC. As stated many of us would love some of the GP40PH/FH's. You can make a killing with the Comet cars for a multitude of railroads. Please keep up the good work. If you ever do Arrow III's, I'll take out a pension loan!

Got my set yesterday at Satler's Hobby in Westmont, NJ. Love it!!
CONGRATULATIONS ATLAS FOLKS!
I like your products so much!
Now if Atlas was to release a GP40P in NJDOT, CNJ and NJTransit I'd be first in line to buy one.
I wish! I'd definitely be competing for that first in line.
I’m in too! Especially #4111!
please make the comet V cars!!! None makes them and it is so frustrating trying to build a NJT model railway because they are such a key feature :(
i second that....
GP40P’s please. Especially 4111!!
Yes
I would be very interested in an N-scale version of this loco and cars!
Great model! Love the mid-70s space party music at the end ;)
NJT 4507 ALP-45DP with Bombardier Comets III and IV
I hope there's a plan to make them in N scale and in Montreal's AMT. I would definitely buy both sets if you do 😉.
The bad thing about the atlas model is that they didn't produce a ALP-45 heritage unit HO scale
Awesome my home railroad in HO scale! This makes me want to restart that hobby again.
awesome train video
What interests me so much is why it can carry more multilevel cars in electric mode instead of diesel, especially since it is longer than its purely electric cousin?
So in diesel mode it can the maximum tall cars it can pull is 8 wow I'm impressed
Amt got these LOCOMOTIVES in 2011 and it's quiet these look the same
they are the same, the only difference is the plow on the AMT version is wider due to AMT not having the third rail clearance issue NJT has
I have a question.... is your silver dash 8-40bw models plug and play?
Are you going to re-release multilevel cab cars?, i cannot find them anywhere.... :-( :-(
Atlas has since announced another run of the multi-levels including 2 new numbers for the cab cars and lots of the trailer cars including the heritage painted ones. At the same time, they also announced another run of ALP45DP’s to go with the bi-levels cars. Atlas has added 4 new numbers for the ALP45’s including EL heritage 4519.
Atlas already made the ALP44 a while back and another release recently. All that needs to be done now is the GP40PH-2, GP40FH-2, the ALP46 and the PL42AC.
IHP has GP40FH-2s readily available as shells compatible with GP40 frames from Atlas or Athearn.
Resin kits of the ALP46 and PL42AC are produced by Island Model Works.
The GP40PH-2 is the only tough on. It only exists as super rare brass.
Only one problem with the Island Model Works PL42AC shell is no one makes a frame with matching trucks and fuel tank. It's a one of a kind locomotive.
+wolfgang548 Island model works provides a frame with Stewart parts, and the side Fram and fuel tank castings. I know, I own them. I also have the weird flat bar frame they produced fir a while.
Would love to have these in the Montréal AMT paint.
Atlas just posted an announcement today for the AMT scheme.
Any preview videos of the models or the sounds of the locomotive?? Can't wait!
Correction the ALP45 can be seen on every NJ Transit Commuter line Including the Atlantic City Line every now and then.
Plz make a GP40FH
I just want to know are the horns on the sound units going to sound absolutly terrible dragged out and choked just like the real ones? I want the full experience.
That's the plan! We recorded two different "choked out" NJT horns when making ALP-45 recordings with ESU a few weeks ago.
Good! They need to come with a speed table set up with dead spots on the low range so when I make station stops or take off from a stop it runs the slack in and out and bangs everyone around too. lol
Just to be a pain in the butt, I have infact seen ALP45s on Atlantic City line trains, just not normally.
True...but at the moment they are not regularly assigned there.
Did NJTransit remove the P40DCs from the roster?
yes a few years ago. they went to CDOT.
Yes, they were sold to CDOT.
NJT never owned P40DCs, they owned P40BHs
@@SouthJerseyRailfan that’s the NJT designation for the P40DC.
if they made a o-scale version. I would buy in a heart beat
marbel
Now if only in AMT paint.
I'm sure they'll release that roadname sometime after the NJT's are released.
Only time will tell
I would love to have this in o scale.
The only true home to the ALP45DP is the Montclair Boonton line. There there all the time, other than the normal PL42AC’s and sometimes GP40-2B. Check it out on my channel
The ALP-45DP is capable of handling a 10+ car train of Multilevel's while in diesel mode.
Bombardier could've gave the ALP-45DP a F40PH-like nose. I like the loco, I'm just not much of a fan with it comes to slanted cab locomotives.
that idea is the stupidest thing i've seen all year, and 2020 has seen a bunch of stupid shit
Please Make the bombardier bi level cars like the ones on metrolink or go transit because athearn is toooooo lazy!
I hope there's a plan to make them in N scale and in Montreal's AMT. I would definitely buy both sets if you do 😉.
