Yes. Although the MTH 44 toners are notorious for stalling over turnouts, mine seems to handle 031 real track switches just fine. I had some sections of unlevel track that gave her a hard time but once I shimmed them to level, all is well. Great little engine.

My MTH 44-tonners run smoothly through Atlas O-54 turnouts at 12 scale miles-per-hour. Video shows engine running conventionally through two switches. Track is level with no kinks anywhere. Maybe people expect their engines to run through switches at 3 scale miles-per-hour and they stall, but I don't run that slowly.
