Although I have no interest in these cars (the only one relevant to my interests, CN, is long before my modelling era), I still think it's exciting to see Atlas entering the passenger car market. If they do it well (and there are high standards these days, with the likes of Rapido in the market), then they could be a welcome addition to the market. There are lots of gaps in the model passenger car world, and it would be nice to see them filled.
Before we get too excited though, it should be noted that this appears to be an upgraded model based on the old Branchline tooling that Atlas acquired some time ago. So while it may lead to more passenger car offerings down the line (especially if it sells well), it may also just be a one-off model since they already have the basic tooling for it done.
We shall have to see.
