Anyone operating Williams F-3's on Fastrack switches, especially remote ones. How well do the F 3 units go thru them.
Thanks

I haven't tried the Williams F3's on the FasTrack switches.

I haven't had any derailment's on any engines, prewar, postwar, or modern going through the switches at any speed, both forward and reverse.

The only engine that I have that has a problem is the Lionel Consolidation which shorts on the switch due to the very long wheelbase.

The FasTrack switches are outstanding.

I have heard the switches are excellent however, the Williams Golden Memory F3s have a problem with shorting on some switches. That is why I was wondering about the specific match of Williams and Fastrack

the golden memories F3's go thru the Lionel O27 switches just fine. Can't say about the fastrack switches. Williams puts out some good stuff. I really like their Alcos too.

By 027 switches do you mean the 022 switches. Do you have any knowledge of their operation through Lionel 072 switches. Thanks
