Atlas 6078 problems

you can buy them they are not hard to buy atlas makes a short curve piece you can purchase to clear the railroad ties, that's normal for  some tracks many companies make short sections to take care of the kind of issue. just see your local hobby shop they are not expensive! you can buy short curve or short straight what ever you need ok hope this helps . P.S. you can also just trim off the ties as need and will not hurt anything, its up to you!

Just cut a short piece off the end of each plastic tie where they interfere - looks like trimming about 3/16" from the inner end of each tie will do it. This will also be prototypical. It is not necessary to cut the rails.

Same issue with their 22 degree crossover, instructions say to trim tie with a small cut off tool, or you can break off end of tie with a pair of pliers.

Instead of doing them one at a time, can you do them simultaneously?  It looks like the inter-radius curve ought to lead the outer-radius curve.

Thanks everyone, I cut a very short piece of track and it's now all connected, engine arrives tomorrow, this has been 3 years in the making, fingers crossed it all works.

i think I'll change the layout as I have 7 Gunderson double stack container cars which take up half of the track, I am trying to argue that the layout would look better in the living room but the wife isn't buying my story.

Thanks again

good luck!
