Greetings all,

Now I know this may be a little old for some to be very aware of, but I would like to if anyone on HT would know of any Atlas discussion groups. :confused:
Joe ( Mr. Atlas ?) of Mr. Coney, doesn't seem to answer any e-mail.
I'm most interested in chassis timelines and as to what models( mostly interested in chrome bumper versions) may have went with what chassis.
I'm not too keen on Zingers ( seems Atlas and early Tyco shared a few engineering similarities) , mainly the early C121 chassis as well as slimline lines. Any information is greatly appreciated!

thanks everyone !

Mike

Thanks DLW,

From the site he seems primarily Tyco and T-jet, having a '62 brochure posted for the Atlas link. Anyone else who may know??

thanks

sorry to dredge up an old thread, but i've been incommunicando for a while...

If you sign on to the Yahoo group HO World, some guys there know lots about old Atlas cars. One guy there (his mane is Malcolm) had a few web pages with pictures devoted to old inline cars, and he knew tons of stuff about Atlas, Lionel, Bachmann, Eldon, and others like that. He even sent me some parts (wheels, axles, guide pin) to complete an Atlas chassis I had around. This was a few years ago now, but here's the page I found after a little digging:
