Hi All,
Just curious. How many of you fill in the frogs on the Atlas switches to prevent the wheels from dropping in the frog?
Regards,
Ed

we have been known to do that at Cherry Valley. think we used JB Weld or PC7.
Thanks Chris. I use JB Weld also.

Later issue switches had a small plastic piece to inhibit the problem.

They said wheels, not pickup rollers.
I have not noticed any issue with wheels dropping on any of my Atlas turnouts. But even with these plastic fillers I still have issues with pickup rollers falling off of some turnouts and getting stuck. I'll be 3D printing new fillers to stop that.

Mike CT and Sinclair,
Are you aware that you are discussing 3-Rail Atlas turnouts here on the 2-Rail SCALE Forum, while the original poster is inquiring about Atlas 2-Rail turnouts?
