Our layout is all Atlas O solid nickel silver track, with only one spot at 072 curve (all other curves are larger than 072). I have modified each turnout to accept 2-Rail scale wheeled freight rolling stock, by adding thin styrene shims on the top of each and every guard rail (thus the height of the guard rails are now the same as the running rails). Many of the scaled wheeled cars do make some noise going through the 3-Rail frogs, but derailments have pretty much been eliminated. For what it's worth, I have found that the Weaver 2-Rail Bettendorf freight trucks seem to work best on the Atlas 3-Rail track & turnouts.
