BTW, I always have though Atlas made fine products. just don't like the lack of a printed catalog.  Atlas "O scale division" has been on the ropes financially, and with the acquisition of the MTH products, the prospect of a printed catalog seems further away than ever! 

Not sure why you're saying the "O scale division" has been on the ropes financially. If they were on the ropes, they certainly wouldn't have been in a position to purchase the large chunk of the MTH product line they did. They had an unfortunate turn of events a bit over a year ago, when their Chinese manufacturer went south on them, taking a bunch of Atlas' molds and other property, which left Atlas in a position of having to rebuild part of its product line, and obviously slowed production. However, I have seen no evidence that they've been on the ropes financially.

They don't do a printed catalog (although they used to do quarterly catalogs) but they do publish catalogs on line. I never worry about depiction shown; if Atlas O does an item, I'm far more assured with them that the product will be done properly and painted correctly, than with any other manufacturer.
