I've used the connectors Rob recommended. Just be careful to not break off the little pin. You can also use the regular Atlas joiner. There's a slight difference in height (~1/32") between Atlas and Gargraves. Just put a piece of card stock under the end of the Gargraves to shim it up just a touch. Given the choice, I use the Atlas joiners.

 

Off topic, but Gargraves and Ross connect w/ the same track pins. Just something to consider when buying switches.

I am presently using Atlas switches and Gargraves track.  The Atlas transition rail joiners designed to connect Gargraves and Atlas track are very prone to breaking when connecting the two brands of track.  Gargraves track is easy to cut using a dremel tool and the EZ-lock 1 1/2" diameter metal cutting wheels made by Dremel.  The cuts are pretty smooth.  To assure that the fragile pins on the transition joiners do not break off, use the end of a pointed needle file to clean up and dress the freshly cut Gargraves track holes in the tubular rail ends so that the pins slide in the ends of the Gargraves track easily.  Attach the transition joiners to the Atlas track ends first, and then carefully line up the pins on the transition joiners and gently force the pins into the ends of the tubular Gargraves track.  If you try it the other way, attaching the transition joiners first to the Gargraves track first, it's very hard to get the joiners to engage in the ends of the Atlas rails.  Originally posted by seaboard streak:

I have gagraves  atlas track.I trying to join them tgether. If theres anyway to get them to join gether.That can be done without cuting.I have a few cuting tools but I don,t feel.It can be done safely.As always any help will I will be very greatful.
