Well, finally, mine arrived today and I must say a great job done by Atlas. I had to wait a little longer (since I got Conrail).
The new lights (LED's) that Atlas is using are fantastic, very bright.

Hopefully I will get some pictures of them this evening.

Anyone else got theirs yet?

Picture as stated above.
Nice. and YES, I do know that the Conrail units didn't have the sunshades. The only reason I did add them was so I could break them off and use the tabs as filler.

For those still waiting the arrival, you really need to ream out the holes for the railings, its very tight and it wouldn't be to hard to break them off.
