From what I've read on the forums, the problem with Atlas turnouts is not with them itself, but rather with how they react to the different throwing mecanism. To recap what I've read around (please correct me if I'm wrong): 1-Atlas turnouts are not of the best quality, but still work fine 2-they tend to "blow out" from the force when switched by a twin coil machine 3-they should work pretty fine with turtle mechanism or manually I've never build a layout, I'm still in the dreaming process until I can get a space for one, but this would be valuable information for me as when I get to buy my tracks, I'd like to know which brand to go for, so far, I'll go with Atlas flex (probably code 83), but I have no idea yet about the turnouts or the crossings.
