Thanks for any help. I've been struggling with the Atlas switch guardrail gap problem for sometime now.

 

1) I used Gorilla Glue brand "thick" SuperGlue.

 

2) No photos of "how I did it", since I simply cut the narrow shim strips to the length of each guardrail, glued them on top, and painted them grimy black later.

 

3) Don't really know what you mean by "struggling with the Atlas switch guardrail gap problem", i.e. WHAT "gap problem"? The purpose of adding the narrow shims on TOP of the guardrails is to raise the guardrail to the SAME HEIGHT as the running rail. Thus, for some reason, the 2-rail scale wheel sets will then take the diverging route without derailing.
