SILKY SMOOTH TRACK AND SWITCH OPERATION

I try to keep my joints as smooth and even as possible. I file off any burs, before I put them together. I also file the points on my newer Atlas turnouts. I've got some older ones, the those points were made with a nice bevel at the ends. <br /> <br />I'm far more anal about deflections, after the track's layed. I'm in N scale, and don't yet have any of the nice reliable Atlas locomotives. My old Spectrum Dash 8 doesn't run too bad, but it's sensitive about odd dips and rises in the rails.
