New Atlas web site

Are you sure you're not confusing the Atlas website with Lionel's new website????   The latter has been a disaster for months now!!! 

But in all seriousness.... I actually thought Atlas did a respectable job rebuilding their website to incorporate ALL scales.  For the way my brain works, the new site is very intuitive... as long as you realize it's no longer a site "just" for Atlas-O, but rather it's a site for all of Atlas Model Railroad products.  But overall, it's a well-organized site IMHO.

I'm assuming since you posted this on the "Hi-Rail, O27 and Traditional 3-Rail O-Gauge Forum" that you are into O-Scale.  So on the menu bar of the Atlas Mode RR company home page, just place your mouse or pointer device over the O-Scale tab and then select an appropriate item of interest in the drop-down box.  Same is true for the Information tab.  A few items that were once located on the Atlas-O website are now located in the drop-down box under the Information tab -- including the Atlas-O archives as well as the production (shipping) schedule.

Hope that helps!

Okay, this may sound like a silly answer to your question, but I really disliked the new Atlas site the first several times I visited it. I do 99% of my surfing on my iPad and I couldn’t get any of the pulldown menus to work. I nearly always read with my iPad oriented in portrait. For some reason I don’t remember, I happened to be on the Atlas site once in landscape and - boom - all of the pulldown menus work fine. I’m not sure what, if any, help this is, but there you go...

That could very well be the case.  I have the same issue using this forum on my iPhone6 Plus.  When I hold the phone in portrait mode, I never see the RECENT POSTS column off to the right -- which essentially makes browsing the forum that way completely useless (to me, anyway).  However, if I rotate the phone to landscape mode, the presentation looks more like it does on my desktop (not quite exactly, but close enough).  And most importantly, the RECENT POSTS column re-appears!

I guess this is all part of the "responsive programming" nonsense that a lot of new websites have been employing for a couple of years now.  I absolutely hate when programmers locked away behind a computer screen all day decide for me how the website layout "should" look.  What to they know???    Instead, I MUCH prefer the good old days, when a website was a website.  And regardless of which device you're using, you browsed a website thru your browser program, and you could zoom in and out to the areas of the presentation you wanted to see.  And in doing so, you could also increase the size of the font so these websites could be somewhat readable on small devices.

I fully admit I'm a dinosaur when it comes to adopting apps for this and apps for that.  Just give me the desktop version of a website, and let me control the presentation I want to see on my mobile device.  But I realize that ship was anchored into the harbor for good, when today's programming wizards decided they knew what's best for each mobile device out there.  NOT!!!!

Had discussion about the Atlas website, related to the 6924 relay boards and switch wiring.  At the time last week a lot of the Atlas detail information had not been posted on the new website. 

I recently posted this comment.

I reviewed the Atlas website today, 3/14/2018.  Most, if not all, the references to the 6924 relay board are again part of the Information section of the website.   It has apparently taken Atlas some time to rebuild the new website with there existing older information.   Thank you, Atlas.   Michael C. Thompson.

I don't mind Atlas combining all gauges on their new web site but I do mind not being able to see the O Gauge train shop special orders.  On the old site, each Hobby shop was listed along with the special order cars.  Maybe I doing something wrong but so far, I've had no luck finding that list.

You just can’t help yourself, can you? Almost every post you make here takes some kind of a shot at Lionel.

Keep it up and you’ll be back in moderation again.  

I just want to know when will we be getting our 2017 Golden Spike Club car

TDS, do you remember what the original ETA for the car was?  The last GSC car I ordered was the 2016 GSC TTX Extended Vision Caboose, and that arrived around mid-September 2017.  So you could be looking at another 6+ months for delivery of the 2017 club car, if it's on similar production schedule.
