Nope. I imagine they will trickle in as other things have been lately.
Dale,
If you need turnouts soon I suggest you look at the Signature Switch website. Brad makes whatever you need at very competitive prices. I have over 50 Atlas turnouts in my permanent Christmas garden and, if I had it to do over, they would all be Signature Switch turnouts.
This week I got a new Atlas all-scales track catalog. There was pleanty of 2 rail stuff in it. Maybe Atlas is ramping up,I hope so!

My LHS got a couple of 2 rail switches in a week or two ago. I'm 3 rail, so I didn't pay much attention to what they were? You might call Nassau hobby, CharlieNassau reported here on the forum that they were starting to receive some Atlas track items.

Dale,
Last time I was at the website of JD Trains,#5 turnouts are back in stock & Norm's O Scale had joiners a couple months back.

Thanks Guys for the info. I contacted Norm,s O scale this morning and I was able to purchase several # 5 turnouts and other items.The only thing I wasn,t able to purchase was the rail joiners.This is my first posting on this Forum.My name is Dale Churchill and I,m a retired Lineman in Victoria B.C. I,ve been in HO for years and I,m now venturing in to O.Planning on building a 2 piece switching layout 16in. X 144 in.

Nice idea to switch to O scale Dale!
Welcome here!
The problem I have with JD's is that when you order from him, there is no order confirmation that he received it or not.

That's funny, every time I have ordered from him I have gotten a confirmation email back and a short time later shipping info as well. And on the occasions I have emailed him I have gotten a prompt response.
Chris: Interesting that others have the same problem with JD responding as I do. Funny that I will be cancelling all my orders with him as he is a nonreponsive dealer. I have placed several orders the last two months even ordered directly off his website and he had not responded even after it was paid for the day it was ordered. Glad that you think it's "funny" to provide POOR SERVICE.

Sadly there are other folks who have had great experiences with a dealer and others that haven't with that same dealer. Sadly it does happen and I have been on both ends of that stick.

Well if you are not happy then you should, it is your money and should be happy with all aspects of the transaction.

That has never happened to me. After I pay for and submit the order I get an email confirmation within minutes, I take it that wasn't the case with your order(s). And if that's the case then there is zero excuse for that as all customers should receive the same (great) service no matter the amount of the purchase or the dealer and so on.
Glad that you think it's "funny" to provide POOR SERVICE.

Uhhh boy...ok Stephen would you prefer the word "interesting"? None of us want bad service, I don't want it for me or you or anyone. Don't take things so literally...it was just an expression and poor service is NEVER ok,all I said was that "I have always gotten emails and order confirmations from him w/o a problem". I am not speaking for anyone else.
I got the orders from Jeff Dobslaw at JD's TRAINs in University City, Missouri.
Jeff is very busy. He will send things out soon.
The AM Hobbies and JD's Trains websites do need to be updated with more accurate stock information.

I must admit to the same problems as others. I emailed yesterday and have no answer. It seems to be his M.O. If I hadn't bought my Zephyr cars from him, (Bob prior to the merger), I might seek another source.
