TEXASSP,

   If the ScaleTrax Switches now work correctly with Tin Plate Trains, I am very willing to take another look at them.  I have always liked both RealTrax and ScaleTrax except for the constant problems I had with the Switches, I actually sold all my Switches long ago.  Have you run any Tin Plate thru your switches, does it work on a constant running basis?  I still have a nice loop of Scale and RealTrax that I use without switches, on my inner most loop, the track does run my Tin Plate well, if the switches have been upgraded to handle my Tin Plate Engines and 12 wheel Tenders, I definitely would like to know it.  I would love to add them into my new Train Room layout.   If the switches have been upgraded and now work correctly, in that case my opinion is that Allan L should definitely plan his layout with the ScaleTrax.  He already owns the Track.

PCCR/Dave,

Your post just helped me with a decision process, as I have now decided to eliminate a few switches that were giving me problems.  The others are working well, and I really need them because due to the footprint of the benchwork, I need the non-derailing switches to keep the size of the layout within the space.  Another Forum friend had also mentioned that he usually strives to minimize switches on mainlines, so that suggestion also helped with my decision.
