Hi All,
I have recently returned to HO and have been trying to decide on which turnouts to purchase. I have read many threads at the Atlas forum on the problems with Atlas turnouts and claims that the problems have been addressed. I also posted this message on the Atlas forum.
My questions are:
What is the bottom line, have all the problems been corrected in current production?
Is it safe to buy Atlas turnouts or should I not even consider it?
How do I know I'm buying one of a corrected vintage? Can I tell without opening the package?
Does the continuity problem only effect code 83 or both 100 and 83?
What exactly is the jumper fix I have read about, but never seen explained?
