Bizarre derailing Issue on a Turnout

Correct. The only reason that I started buying Peco turnouts was for the spring loaded feature. I can flip the points manually, but only where I can access the turnouts. For that reason, I use a mix of Atlas and Peco turnouts. With the Atlas turnouts, I use Tortoises to control the turnouts.

as i’ve been laying track this winter, i’ve been added over center springs to my atlas turnouts.

so this is a violation of the H-dimension in S-3.2, 0.025"

That is something that the late RRMel used to do with great success. I could never master that technique.

idk im having the same problem with marx switches i cant get my post war to stop derailing on them

I did, but now I 3D print my own ties. The Fast Tracks ties are nice, but at about $9 each for shipping, I decided 25 cent tie sets I make at home were a better deal.
