No one said Atlas is shutting down. But the fear is that this could hurt Atlas badly, given that Affatech produced so much of its N, HO and O scale products.
It does sound like Atlas has other manufacturing sources, but it will take time and money to transfer tooling, train workers and schedule production at other facilities in China.
As was posted earlier in this thread, Atlas addressed what happened and what it will do in this note:
Atlas has received notification from one of our locomotive and rolling stock suppliers that they have closed their factory. (Please note Atlas track and accessories are NOT affected by this delay.) Atlas is currently working with our network of suppliers to transfer the projects to others for completion. This will cause a delay in some previously ordered products. We apologize for this delay, thank you for your continued support, and will update you with more information as it becomes available.
