Seems impossible to find Atlas code 55 left turnouts. Talked to someone running an online store front who said Atlas had a quality issues and are delayed. Anyone know of any updates or heard about this. I have an order sitting waiting for back order stock for months.
I stopped in a local hobby shop yesterday, and while there I asked about these. They had none in stock and said they have been on back order for a while.

I am out of town right now away from my trusted LHS, so I cannot vouch for credibility, but I see no reason not to believe them.

I am getting back to building a layout after a few decades away and son and I are trying to get started and just seems like everything is a needle in a haystack..or my bad for going with Atlas code 55. No one website carries what seems like common items either across one brand. Have been stalled for months on left turn Atlas turnouts and now micro engineering bridge track. Maybe I didn’t notice it in the early 80’s but able to step up my game and just waiting. If Atlas is supposedly a leader in the market they are missing the mark on turnouts. Kinda seems like an important item to have as a production priority.
I was in Orlando today, and at Colonial Photo & Hobby they have quite a good selection of Atlas Code 55 products.
You might want to give them a call.
I see #10 straight and curved left turnouts, as well as a left turnout, next to a #5 right turnout that looks to be the same.

Thanks SeeYou190,
They do have #7, which I do need a few of so helps but no #5, which is the real pain. I tried the live chat on the Atlas website to maybe see if they could provide some updates on production and they said they would get back to me soon. That was a few days ago so not feeling great about getting a respone. Thanks again for the pic.
