Hello,
Does anyone make a O-99 or 0-100 3 rail switches that match Atlas track? I don't want big wooden ties unless necessary Or does someone have plans for one?
Thanks,
Don

You should look at Ross Custom switches website, as Ross makes many sizes of switches. You will need to add adapter pins for the track.

MTH Scaletrax offers #4 and #6, does it not? Won't "match" the Atlas, but it's another way to, ah, not match it. I thought Atlas offered some Big switches. But, I'm out of touch with them.

I think the MTH switches you mentioned are 072, at least that's the largest size I see mentioned.
I have the catalog and it just lists the switch(# 4 and # 6) and not any curve radius for it.

You might want to look at the Atlas O number turnouts, such as the #5 or even the big, long #7. Unless of course you are trying to find curved turnouts.

The only traditional O switch I know of with a curved diverging route that is close to O-100 is the Ross O-96. It, as well as all Ross switches, match up well with Atlas track. If you are looking for a scale dimensioned switch, the Ross Regular (close to #5) switch's short curved section is equivalent to O-100.

Downside of Ross switches for you is they have the big wooden ties you don't want.

Everyone,
Thanks for the information. Sorry Barry, I thought I was in the right forum.
