Question for the Tin Plate Train Masters

They will not handle a MARX 999 for sure.

Al Clair,

  I did get to talk to Steve at Ross, the Term Tin Plate Switches is really a mis nomer.

Although the switches are  made to replicate the Lionel originals, to match the Tin Plate tracks they may not accommodate all original Tin Plate Trains.   In fact Ross has not tested them for the running of Tin Plate Trains.  I will test a pair of them on my next layout to see what actually happens.  It's no wounder I could get no answer to this question, the new Ross Switches many not accommodate original Tin Plate Trains, I will need to test them on my own layout myself.
