Question for Atlas track guys.

I have had issues running one direction (derailment) and I turned the consist around and it ran fine that way.  Figured my O72 loop wasn't perfect in a few spots.  Sorry don't remember the direction at the moment.

What issue are you seeing?

Marty....no issues here.  Seems to me I remember a thread some time ago that discussed that a few folks were having issues.  Apparently there was some difference between 072 being determined from either the center rail or the inside rail...???  I may not be remembering correctly...not sure...??

Thanks for the feedback.  I ran into a situation where a person stated that engine would not run on the Atlas 0-72 track.  The engine was returned to a friend for that reason.  I recently had one to work on and it had no problem with my tinplate 0-72 track.  Like any other question, the forum is always my source for good information. 

Marty, where do they measure the diameter of tin plate track? Atlas is center rail

I have two of them.  They both run great on my big outer loop, which has four half circles of O-72 Atlas curves.  The only problem I have had running them was trying to get to to double-head, although I got them to do it eventually - at least at slow (<25 mph) speeds.

John, center rail on Lionel tinplate.

I have the JLC C&O H-7. I run it on Concentric ovals that vary from O90 to O72. The switches are 7.5. I dont have any problems on the curves.

hello guys and gals..........

I have a full circle of Atlas 0-99 curves and I measured it and found out it's 99" inches from center rail across center rail.  hope this helps
