[quote]QUOTE: I like the Peco turnouts, but ,my BLI class A will not go through them. [/quote] I love these switches, but I had that problem with Peco Code 100 switches and certain wheelsets and trucks. The gap between the guard rails and the stock rail is too wide for rp 25 wheels. This allows the wheels to ride too far over on the points and derail. They are designed this way to meet NEM (European standards) which have deeper and thicker flanges. I solved it by shimming the inside of the guard rail with thin styrene to bring it up to rp-25 specs. It ias probably easier to use another brand turnout or the new code 83 line from peco. The problem does not affect about 90% of my rolling stock, just certain ones. To me it was worth it to shim because I like the smoothness and sturdieness of these switches. Guy
