Might be a case of if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it.
Some people have a use for knowing their old production runs.

The shipping container report is now here:
Yea, well, just like most other web sites, in a constant change. The millennials have taken over. My son and daughter are part of it all, and I love em.
Ya know, I believe some of it is justifying jobs. “Wow, what if we changed this to something wayyyyy cooler! Everybody is addicted to their cell phones, this would be so cool!”
Have I ruffled too many feathers yet?

The opening page advertises a “Members Only Golden Spike Sale” for the month of December?
.
Who runs members only sales during the holiday shopping season? That seems like a bad marketing decision to me.

Thanks for providing the links. That information is about the only reason I visit the website, and they now made that information hard to find.
A good company would keep information handy about all of their products, including those manufactured years and decades ago. Providing such information about past runs is what made Atlas one of my favorite model railroad companies.
Edit: Reading the new website carefully, it says that the Atlas Archive section will eventually contain information about past runs. Currently, there is some information about past runs, but its not as extensive as the link above. Hopefully it will be.
I hope they don’t take the old site down until they get the new one working. I normally only visit their HO Track section and the new site HO TRACK is totally worthless compared to the old one.

I’m beginning to realize that aging is not for wimps.
Is the old site still up and running?
I use the section on past runs of locomotives extensively on the old site, especially when checking eBay listings. The new site is worthless for this purpose.

I live in the UK so most of this isn’t any good to me but visiting just two pages I found one typo and a wrong image of an RSD. They need to up their quality control.
