WALMART TOM posted:You gotta luv those Atlas turnouts! I've gone nuts trying to eliminate the problems you experience.
I have a 12' by 8' O gauge layout with two Atlas O-72 switches and three Atlas O-54 switches. In twenty years of operation, I have never had a problem with switch operation or locomotive operation on the switches. Running mostly MTH Premier, but also Atlas O, Sunset/3rd Rail, Lionel and some Railking and Weaver. I'm replying just to say that I have not experienced problems with Atlas O - not to minimize the issues you have had. And I prefer the solid nickel-silver rails compared to tubular.
