Now you have full connection with out using the 910-4 fish plates.
LOOK MA, NO PINS!!
Atlas 3 rail, rail joiners on GG and Ross rails, dress up the joint a tad with a fine flat file and you are ready to go:

Tom, I can't see the logic in trying to cobble Atlas rail joiners on an all Gargraves/Ross setup, what is the perceived advantage? Personally, If I were replacing all the track in front of the station, I'd have probably just used the pins, but then I didn't know about the fish plates, they might make it easier. However, I'm struggling with the logic of using Atlas Rail Joiners, I've never been wild about them with Atlas track. Trying to bend the skinny Gargraves rail and make it fit cleanly into the Atlas joiner seems like it wouldn't be that easy or neat.
