romiller49 posted:John, I agree with your solutions above but why should lionel add cost their product when it’s Atlas that has the engineering problem with the switch. It is your choice though, and I respect that. I just think Atlas should step up to the plate and correct their switch. With the trains getting more and more complex it’s inevitable that compatibility will continue to be an issue.
My tender sample would lose power going through the diverging route of my Lionel LH FasTrack O72 switches unless I reversed the front pickup to increase the spacing. However, in that position the roller was directly over an axle.
