Looking for Atlas dealer who can supply track and switches for the layout I am beginning construction on. Will need about 300 ft of track and about 20 switches. Layout is 15x25'. I live in northeast Texas but guess it does't matter where dealer is. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Trainworld has good prices on Atlas track and and the best on switches of that I am aware. But wait until the 4th of July when they will have a sale which would be good for 10 to 15 percent off. Otherwise you'll need to call around to find an aggressive dealer. If you have a large enough order he'll be able to order it directly from Atlas and get to ship directly to you saving some shipping costs and perhaps Texas sales tax. If you have some nearby buddies who need track too, the more you order the better the chances you have.
I've had some success with special orders with JusTrains of Delaware but that was several years ago.

First check out the forum sponsors who sell the track and turnouts and see if you can get a discount since you are buying so much.

Try Grand Central LTD, an OGR forum sponsor. Call Rick with your full order. They may just work with you on the pricing for a larger order. They also may be somewhat less on shipping costs as they are a little closer than most of the other forum sponsors.
