This post properly falls under the topic "What I almost did on my layout today"
I've been planning on adding a small yard off an outer main for some time, waiting for availability of some Atlas switches. I was ok with used track.
Here's a picture of the area I want to modify, Yard.pptx. It will mean taking out a station platform and possibly the IR, and swapping out already ballasted track, 10" straight. So I was looking for an Atlas 6070 O54 left hand.
I found two left-hand and one right hand O54 at Trainz.com, for good prices. When I received them, noticed I had a little unanticipated oops to deal with.
Both left-hand switches are 14" long on the straight side. Note the right-hand switch on top is 10 inches long when the extra piece (comes with it) is removed. All my current O54s, left and right, are 10 inches long. I had not seen these 14" ones before. Searched the forum but did not see any entries.
So for now, back to pondering what to do next. I could still replace existing track with the longer switch, but that means ripping out more existing track. Could cut down the longer switch to fit. More to come.
