The metal stud located on the bottom side of the narrow end tip of the rail that serves to secure the inner switch rail to the track tie has broken in half.
The small metal part does not appear to be functionally repairable (either by gluing or soldering), particularly when 12 lb. locomotives begin running over the switch again. Does anyone have a spare inner rail with the metal stud attached, rail or know where I might be able to secure one?
I will contact Atlas if one is not available from a forum member.
