As I recall, it was released 10 or so years ago.  I haven't seen an ad for it in ages and it is not in the current Atlas catalog, so I expect  it is out of production.

The Atlas Commander is old technology, long out of production, but...

Old as it is, I still find the forward/reverse direction buttons easier to use for doing the "Kadee shuffle" than most other throttles. Which is handy when switching cars in a yard or industrial area, so I keep one around just for that purpose.

I think one of the local hobby shops still has a couple stashed away. I'll check if you're interested.

as far as i know the atlas commander allows full programming. the main drawback is that it only supports 2 digit addresses, rather than the 4 digit addresses most other systems support. if you can live with that, take it. the price is right......
