Seems I recall that when the ERR shutdown was announced, there was information that Lionel would be continuing to supply Atlas O with ERR products. There was a question from some as to why, if Lionel was continuing to supply Atlas O (and therefore have a manufacturing source for the ERR boards), why they were stopping supply to retail customers.
In addition, the information was that Lionel would continue to supply ERR boards to 3rd Rail as well as Atlas. Curious how that ended up. 3rd Rail as a ERR dealer now supplies itself with ERR products? With new ERR production delays from 3rd Rail, how would 3rd Rail supply ERR products to it's own products being produced in the meantime? Perhaps part of the deal was that Lionel would continue to supply 3rd Rail until the new production supply is up and running?
