New roadnames for 60' Trainman passenger cars, and more painted/unlettered! That was quick.

Argh, I want them to come out with a Geep in Union Pacific (lightning bolt) scheme. My locals need sound!

Why?
Like they didn't already have a planned logistics of 200 designs prepared before the first production was done.
Oooh look, Rio Grande already. Bugger.

Linking a URL to a default page where you then have to 'locate' the previously cited item, isn't ever the right track Atlas.
3 clicks and you've lost a customer was a previous lore of web design...

I shared your comment with our web people and this is what they replied:

"Only one link was like that, the one for the N Trainman Passenger Cars, because there are six different categories to link to for it due to the way they are separated in the system. Even linking to the monthly catalog listing would have been an issue as they appear halfway through a page, so there still would have been some scrolling involved. In the future, I can list each item separately but I thought it might get a little unwieldy."

If there is something else that you are having multiple clicks to reach, please let me know.

hey Paul, I know that the old site was dated, but it functioned a lot better. I miss the old products pages, one item, all part numbers on one page, not having to view 4 pages of GP40's to see if the Podunk Central got any Atlas Love..

All the other N scale items roll onto a 2nd page as well, for me

Perhaps if the display weren't wasting two thirds of the space, as highlighted here...

I keep hoping that Atlas will realize that DRGW had Gp40-2s as well as GP-40s and run the paint scheme on those shells too.

Of course, UP relabels of either would be nice too, though many of the Rio Grande units ran out their lives in their home road paint before being retired.
