Wow Liz,
On my 28" monitor that SD45 looks amazing! Larger than HO life!
Excellent!

Here is a photo of one of the trucks similar to the Atlas 100-ton roller bearing truck, the Barber S-2D: I don't think the Atlas truck is an exact match for anything, and it certainly doesn't have all the lettering detail of much better trucks from ExactRail, Tangent, Genesis and others, but it's pretty close to this and some other foundries' casting of the same design.

The Atlas Truck just doesn't stand up in a side by side comparison. If Atlas really expects us to pay an ever increasing amount for their freight cars, they really need to make a better truck for their models. The one they've been using for the last decade plus is just plain ugly. And you can't easily swap trucks because of their bolster design.
