Got a pair of Gargraves 90 crossovers. While doing test run on new add on, checking clearances, most of the cars were "bouncing". Seems like the flange catching on center guides.
Can the edges be rounded off, or tapered as train will only run one direction?
Or am I better off taking them out, and getting a pair of Ross 90s.

Do yourself a favor and get the Ross crossings. I had a pair of Gargraves 90 degree crossings and eventually the flangeways got so wide that cars with smaller pickup rollers (like some MTH cabooses) would launch themselves into the air when going over them. Gargraves uses regular old black plastic for the flangeways and it is subject to wear. Ross uses Delrin or some other really hard plastic. My Ross 90 degree crossings have shown no wear in the 11 years they've been in place.
Those hand made crossings are a work of art! When are you going to add the missing center rail? 
sorry someone had to be the first.
Ok. I'll have to pull these out and get some Ross on order.
These are new, not worn in and already have the jumping cars.
That's some fine work there on those custom ones.
I may end up keeping the gargraves in place for right now. Only freight cars that have issues is the ones I bought from Menards. All my Mth freight and 70' psngr cars don't hop up on center points. Get me some different tankers, then go from there.
