To be completely honest, I'm not a huge fan of most Atlas N Scale rolling stock products. However, when I do purchase Atlas rolling stock, I always try to find the product I'm searching for in the Atlas Trainman line. I feel they run close to NMRA standards for N scale model railroading. If you can afford it, I would strongly recommend MicroTrains N scale products over Atlas. As the adage goes, you get what you pay for.
