Hi everyone, I just purchased a Atlas roundhouse and Atlas turntable. The tracks coming out of the roundhouse seem to be flush with the turntable, but the tracks leading away from the turntable aren't. Atlas recommends using Midwest cork as a shimmy. That would work for me on the tracks that are just sidings, but the track that leads back to the main line is my problem. I already have some of my track down with ballast and landscaping and I don't want to tear all that up. Is there a way I could gradually taper the cork so that the track goes back to tabletop level? I also seem to lose track power on the tracks that radiate from the turntable. The wiring is fine. Does anyone have any ideas or solutions? Thanks, Paul

The longer the distance the better. About 1 foot or more from the "O" cork down to the tabletop would work for most diesels, may need a longer distance for large steam engines.
