I'm using Atlas turnouts, code 80 standard and #6 both left and right, and am having a problem with the points breaking. I haven't even finished the layout and I've replaced 2 and have 2 that need to be replaced. I think it's because I am using the Peco CDU, I have to, or else the Atlas turnouts won't snap into place, but the snap action (I think) is causing the rivet/connections on the bottom of the throw bar to come loose and the points to fall out... or else these things are total crap
so ... is there fix with the CDU/operation situation or should I get different turnouts? I am pretty new and dont' know many other places that will have track I can fit into this layout now that I'm this deep into it. It's only 2X4 but I don't want to start from scratch...
