It is stated many times in this thread that Atlas Track is not affected. All I know is I have had an order in with a large supplier of Atlas track since March(?). I was originally told that it would not ship from this supplier until July. For starters, what is with That? So I call this supplier a day or so ago to find out what is the status and to order some additional pieces. Guess what? I was told that now my order won't ship until September. So manufacturing in China as far as I am concerned is a crap shoot. If I had not have started with Atlas track and now that I have acquired all the real estate in my Basement that I can afford (without a divorce proceeding), I would definitely change my mind and use a popular American made track manufacturer to supply my track "habit", I mean needs.
You hit that on the head. I ordered a bunch of Atlas track and switches from a major supplier. Probably, same as yours. I gave up on the switches and went to eBay for 15 of them. I got lucky and only bought 1 of the older models. It has since been replaced. I really like their track and switches. I thought their concept on track signaling was great. Got all lathered up and found out they ceased and recalled that product. I was able to work with Custom Signals to obtain what I needed. For what it is worth, talking with Stephen at Atlas, he mentioned they are coming out with the signaling again. It is supposed to be backward compatible with the older items.
