Introduction

Ford® F-150, 1997 is a new N scale pickup from Atlas Model Railroad. It is Item 2941.

Atlas offers this F-150 in several paint schemes, and many other N scale road vehicles. (They are made for HO, too.)

The Truck

Atlas provides two (2) fully assembled vehicles per pack. They are contained in a blister pack with a form-fitted top-bottom tray.

This model features:

Silver painted bumpers
Plastic head and brake lamp covers

For those of you who care, this is an officially licensed Ford product.

Detail

For N scale this petite pickup packs a lot of detail. Inside the cab are seats. Recessed and raised panel lines detail the exterior, i.e., doors and fuel access cap, Ford emblem, and other aspects.

The windows are clear and not distorted. The headlight and brake light lenses are clear and tinted-clear plastic.

The wheels are molded in styrene but not soft plastic. I appreciate wheels molded with soft plastic or plastic-rubber hybrids.

Finish

Whether painted or molded in color, the finish looks good. Atlas offers this truck with 14 paint schemes and an undecorated model:

Atlas Model Railroad Company
Black
Black/Silver
Dark Red
Green/Tan
Greenlawn Landscape Experts
Moonlight Blue
MOW Yellow
Pacific Green
Police 9-1-1
Red/Tan
Tan
White
White/Tan

Conclusion

Ford® F-150, 1997 is another good looking tiny truck for modern-era N scalers.

Molding is high-quality and the finish is, too. The clear and tinted lenses for the lights are a highlight.

N scalers in need of modern light utility trucks should enjoy a fleet of these F-150s. Recommended.
