trick to get switches to work

When the switch is turned to go the branch line you need to make sure the outside sliding rail goes all the way over and makes good contact. I have one new Atlas switch I just got where this wasn't happening. This could cause the train to try to go between the main line and the branch. Pushing a car by hand to test where it's jumping off is a good idea and should allow you to pin point the problem area
