Not sure what the Atlas switches are like, but prewar trains in general do not do well on modern switches (in particular the wheel flanges going through the frogs). My first layout used Gargraves track with Ross switches, which did not work out with all of my prewar engines due to the thickness of the wheel flanges. I eventually got rid of all of the switches on my layout and after 25 years, got rid of the Gargraves track and went back to tubular track.
