Pete, I’ve been using Atlas switches since Niagara Hobby gave me a couple to try when they first came out 25 or so years ago. I’m up to about 40 now and still using the original two. I have not experienced any of the problems people here complain about. Like any hobby they require a little tinkering sometimes and some bulletproof wiring methods. I’ve also bought plenty of used track and switches on the cheap which were not so nicely removed from layouts and it’s quite repairable. Only drawback is no magna traction on the postwar stuff. For my yard areas I’ve gone to ground throws for the ‘hands on’ value and Gary 3D printed mounting pads for me which are really slick.
