Has Atlas stopped making custom line turnouts, #'s 4 and 6, nickel silver?
Noone seems to have them?

Atlas,and other suppliers have had "Factory problems"in the past year or so in China,has started to get expensive
to produce models,Bachmann has turned Sader-Kahn into their "In House" factory,only making their models
for the European,British,and US markets.
The remaining open factories are booked full and are charging more $$$ per production run. :( :(

It's getting thought finding Atlas stuff in N Scale as well. Some of the local hobby shops that I my self go to are seeing a lot of orders for Peco and Kato track in N Scale as well as Peco track in HO Scale to make up for the shortage of Atlas track.
