Thanks for posting all that, Ken.
The above quoted sentence bodes well for Atlas engines …. both O and HO. (If O scale is actually involved, anyway)

I hope this is true because I have a couple of SD40's preordered from August 2016. I have some Trinity hoppers and an extended vision caboose preordered from this year's announcements but I don't mind if these are delayed.
Frankly, anything not yet built is affected. Unless they're in a container on the dock or on the water, expect even more delays.
Plus, getting things scheduled in with a new builder isn't going to happen with a snap of the fingers. I'm pretty sure the remaining builders have full production schedules.
