A different problem with Atlas turnouts is the electrical rollers getting caught in the gaps between the middle rail and the outside rail when going thru the turnout. The rollers are the standard size rollers, not the smaller rollers found on some Lionel engines and other brands.
My temporary fix is to cut a piece of plastic(I used electrical ties) and place in the gap so the roller won’t drop into the gap. Pic one shows the gap(screwdriver points to it) that the roller drops in and hits the outside rail causing a short derailment. Pic two shows the gap filled with the plastic I inserted allowing the roller to glide over the gap. This works. Looking for a way to make something that looks better. Any suggestions welcomed.
