Not with Atlas but i got 4 number 8 curved Shinohara turnouts and 4 number 10 straight ones. I don't need them right now but I have a suspicion they will either never return or will be a long time doing so.
Not just Atlas, I ordered a bunch of turnouts from Walthers back in June, and just received them last week.
FWIW why Walthers? My hobby store is part of a train museum and they offer members a discount on Walthers catalog products.

SeeYou190 ATLANTIC CENTRAL A really rough estimate for the new layout is about 1600' I can't even imagine building a personal layout with that much trackage. -Kevin

Remember, a lot of it is just staging tracks - 25 hidden staging tracks, 25 feet long allowing for yard leads is 625' of track, over 1/3rd of the total.

Living the dream.
SeeYou190 ATLANTIC CENTRAL I don't have my "life time supply", but I have least 700 or 800 feet to get the new layout started. I would imagine your lifetime supplies would be worlds different than mine! -Kevin

A really rough estimate for the new layout is about 1600', so I might have about half of what I need.
Another 3 or 4 cases should cover it.
Trainworld is showing an expected date of arrival of some turnouts on 8/31 Most other sectional rail seem to be in stock.

Well, even when it was made in New Jersey, there were times when it was out of stock.

And just a few weeks ago full cases were available on Ebay at good prices.
richhotrainKevin, don't leave us hanging. How much Atlas flex track is a lifetime supply?
I pulled out the invoice from Model Train Stuff.
I bought:
40 sections of code 83 brown tie flex
6 packs of 24 inch radius code 83 curves
6 packs of 22 inch radius code 83 curves
3 packs of 18 inch radius code 83 curves
2 packs of code 83 straight track short piece assortment
That should be enough for my final home layout and my sectional show layout.
SeeYou190 I was scared that this would happen, and about a year ago I ordered my lifetime supply of Atlas track from Model Train Stuff. I am glad I did that. -Kevin

By the way, I just ordered five 36" lengths on eBay, and it enroute to my home.

Apparenlty. I noticed Peco and Atlas flex track has been out of stock for a while, as well as the popular sizes of ME. There is Walthers, Lifelike and Lionel HO flex however.
Also, oddly there are 91 RH Atlas code 83 #6 in stock but zero LH of the Atlas code 83 #6

Track availablity comes and goes over the years.
There is a shipping log jam on the west coast

What happens in China, before any of it gets shipped here is beyond my pay grade.
Our LHS has been plagued, no pun intended, with never-ending backorders on the most common items, like wheel sets. The pandemic has apparently disrupted many of the supply chains.

Anybody know why Atlas is delayed shipping track age. I ordered switches from local hobby shop 5 months ago. Wrote to Atlas twice, no response.
