New Atlas website: where are the old models? Read-only forum?

I used to use the Atlas website for reference when buying used (older) models.

E.g. to search for the BN SD-24 6240, that was produced about 12 years ago.

But I am unable to find that information on their new website. And where is their read-only forum?

Can you please tell me where to find those things?

I beleive it was just very recently posted on their site,  http://archive.atlasrr.com/
 Only goes back to 2000 though. I did use the older "past models" link a lot, to research history of a model/paint scheme, etc. Wish Atlas would fully restore that.
 ps, haven't looked at new archive yet.

I was looking for that too, just found it last night..

Information/Reference tab and look for 'Atlas Archive'
Then look for scales in the black bar.. (clicking on HO, N, O in the graphic doesn't do anything.)

I wish theyd go back further but 17 years is nice to have...

I also wish the ship schedule would go to these pages instead of the online shop.. but oh well. ~Ian

If you hover over N Models on the main page, you can select from New Products, Past Products, and Special Runs.  If you click on Past Products, it breaks it down into every model released, and by their release dates.

There's no link to that on the main page anymore.  That seems to a page from the old website that's still up.  Not sure if it will still be updated.

New direct links are:

SO I searched for this thread and it didnt come... oh well___

Quoting hisself "I wanted to comment on the recent/ whenever it was Atlas revamped their site to bring it into the 21st C.
However they nixed ( some of the most useful, if not sales filling content) all their historical manfr. and date data so you can no longer look up historical releases."

But i see there are links above, so once again I prove redundant.  :facepalm: :facepalm: :RUEffinKiddingMe:
