Atlas Switch Machines Have Malfunctioned
George is having problems with his Atlas switch machines and would like to here your feedback:
“I have a large HO layout and many switch machines which I have never had problems with. Last year I put together an n gauge layout and 4 of the 5 above table Atlas switch machines have malfunctioned. It appears the arm attached to the armature slips out of the groove of the slotted piece that moves the track points. Once they’re apart there is no way to reassemble them without a jig. I haven’t got enough room to install the under the table type. I have used one on the layout and it functions perfectly. Does anyone know if there are any other makes of switch motors that are more reliable?”
