My dad is in the hospital and will pass within a few days. He is 94, and the body just doesn't last forever. My mom has big time memory loss, so she needs to be taken care of too, and there will be a lot to do. (Not to mention 4 performing arts classes a week, and I'm in Steel Magnolias through the end of Sept.) Thanks for your thoughts, but what I really need is for everyone to be patient about receiving their orders. We are about 20 orders behind right now, and we have pre-orders for 60' auto parts box cars, PS4750's, trainman 40' sliding door box cars, and GGD heavyweights to get out. All those items are here, we just need to fill pre-orders for them. If you need an item for a present or a special event, please let us know. Also I will try to get all new Atlas items that will be announced through December, 2015, up on the web site. This will include more California Zephyr dome cars, PS-1 50' box cars, NE-6 cabooses, PS4427 covered hoppers, 89' flat cars and trailers, Trinity 5161 covered hoppers, 11,000 gal tank cars, another run of trainman 40' box cars, and others I'm forgetting right now. Also we have a lot of new special run cars up for pre-orders....8000 gal tank cars, 40' box cars, and other stuff. Thanks, Beth
