Modeling the Baltimore waterfront in HO scale
QUOTE: Originally posted by rdt527 the bulge I refer to is only exposed when the switch is in proper position.
QUOTE: Originally posted by chuckn Doe the wheels on the front trucks have traction tires? If so, the non-derailing function will not have time to act/throw the points to re-align the switch. The new switches have the cut for the insulating rail pretty far into the turnout. Older switches had the isolation pin at the end of the tracks. Check to see if the manual has anything about extending the non derail function to the next section of track.

QUOTE: Originally posted by dougdagrump Before trying to make any adjustments to the turnout I would try adding a little download tension to the pilot wheels by adding a shim(washer) under the spring. Use the thinest washers you can find and experiment a little. Washers are cheaper than possibly damaging your turnout and having to replace it.
