Agreed. I've been watching their shipping as well, since the last of my Atlas-O orders (i.e., a bunch of those CSX: How Tomorrow Moves Maxi-IV containers) slipped from a 3Q2017 date to a 4Q2017, which now seems unlikely as well UNLESS those 53' containers make an early October 2017 shipment out of China.
Atlas-O overseas factory shipments recently occurred in late May, early August, and early September... and then Atlas-O in turn shipped the corresponding product out to their dealers in roughly 7-8 weeks. So for any additional product expected to see the light of day into consumers hands this year yet, it would seem the best chance would be an overseas factory shipment in early- to mid-October. After that, I think the window will be closing for Atlas-O products arriving in consumers' hands by year-end 2017.

Atlas 10/6 container shipping, balance of Bulkhead flats, wartime gondolas , wagon top box cars, 40' steel rebuilt box cars = late Nov shipping from Atlas on these cars.
