I just looked through the 2014 Atlas catalog and was very impressed with the offering of high detail engines and rail cars. They seem to have gone the extra mile towards realism. Very nice equipment but prices are listed as "TBD". Looks like 2014 is a year for a good many new products from Atlas to be introduced. You can reference the Atlas catalog from the link above

Atlas has been getting more and more of my money, good stuff!

I can't agree more - Atlas' products are amazing, but my one recommendation is to pre-order any item that you like in the catalog as soon as the item is announced. Some items are extremely hard to find, with most stores depleting their inventory within weeks after an item is released. I've heard from some retailers that some of Atlas' products never make it to store shelves, as some order only enough to cover the pre-orders.

Love it!!! I have O&W coal cars to order... Now if the MTH catalog can come through for me.
I have always been pleased with Atlas products. Top notch quality.
Hopefully this is the year Atlas new Factory stays on schedule with production to match estimated delivery dates,this would also open the door for new releases sooner, time will tell.
They had to cancel the PS-1 50' Box Cars from 2013.
There are new paint schemes for the PS-1 50' Plug-Door Box Cars in 2014.

From the Atlas website. Click on the underlined phrases. IMO, depending on pre-orders, the two links below show what is on the plate for 2014 for Atlas O-scale. The complete Atlas catalog includes other scales.
Different club prices based on what scale you are ?
Are the "O" gauge pins and membership cards bigger than
the HO ones ?
You get actual freight cars with the club membership, unlike Lionel where the cars are extra.

I have the MKT AB F units with TMCC, etc., and they are great. The detail parts are quite delicate so I'm careful placing them on/off track but they run and sound super.
