Fixing Track Turnout Problems

Marshall models N scale and asks readers:

“I have laid ATLAS TURNOUTS and a lot of my rolling stock jump track when they get to the actual switch housing, so I changed to PECO.  Now, my problem is that the power switch extension arm is too far away.  Q) How do I make the extension rod longer?”

  • Robert says:

    If the extension rod is metal then you could solder an extension on the end or if plastic, glue it.
