Hi, I thought this deserved a new thread - In a response to Hazmat9's track issues, Selector said: > Don't worry, Hazmat. My stuff all jostles because I am using commercial turnouts.

He says the commercial ones > tend to rely on metal filler to help the flanges to ride throught the frog, whereas his > handlaying method doesn't. My stuff also jostles thru a double xover - Close inspection shows the plastic flangeways sit high, and therefore 'push' the wheels high. I was about to attack this by grinding away with the trusty Dremel, but now I'm not so sure..... "Metal filler to help the flanges ride thru the frog" is what got me - Please explain! Walthers/Shinohara HO T/O's BTW. Thx, Ian
