Mostly Atlas Mark 3 # 6"s and some curved Peco Turnouts Do you know how a train kind of bumps across a Switch? and its noisy also. Not smooth at all? This started bugging me on my last layout so I got a set of trucks and just ran them back and forth on the switch to see where they jumped around and found it was at the Frog. Seems the Frogs have a little dip in them. Don't know why? So I bought some 2 part epoxy and with a toothpick dropped a little into the Frog and let it harden. I then filed it smooth while checking it with the truck set and Walla, train goes accross the Turnouts now smooth and silk. I do this to both sides of the Frog. Has any body else done this and is there an easier way to smooth out of turnouts that someone has found? Thanks, DON P.S. The River Rat Juction RR is cooking. got some more cork roadbed ordered. Hope to draw up the track plan soon and put it on here and see what you guys think. maybe make some suggestions.
