I'm using Atlas Mark 3 #6 HO turnouts and Atlas code 100 ns flextrack. When trains go through there is a noticable wobble in the cars...locos too. I've smoothed the points, been meticulous in alignment...etc....it seems that when the wheels get to the frog, the spacing is large enough that the wheels drop into the space just a tiny amount...enough to make the cars wobble. Anyone got suggestions how to correct this? Do other brands of turnouts have this same situation? My rolling stock is not anything special at this point..mostly plastic wheel sets..would metal wheels, perhaps a larger diameter help out? I'm not looking for exact modeling of any prototype rolling stock, so I can definitely consider using whatever trucks/wheelsets would perform the best to create smooth performance and realistic operation...Thanks in advance for any suggestions! <br /> <br />Dan
