    Love the idea of the Santa Fe buldings, but you may want to also try adding the American Model Builder 2 story rooming house to the mix. With a few tweaks it would be ATSF style.

    I have heard about them #4's myself so I went with #6's from the get-go. The yard and all sidings and spurs are #6's. It kinda screwed up the layout plans a bit (had to redo it). Less track in the area I had to work with. But in the end Its all working great and we are happy with the decision over here :)

    No, Mike, it isn't that you might have something found its way into the mechanism on the Kato #4. Disappointing as it is, the #4 is FAR inferior to the #6. I wish I'd gone to the #6 from the outset. It would have saved a lot of time (and distress to the wallet!).

    Regards,

    Pete Davies

    Seems thst all track manufacturers have turnout issues I use Atlsa Code 55 on my current lay out and the Atlas #5's have been prone to problems and that is why I try to use their #7's which I have yet to have a problem with.

    Not all track components are perfict in design and or in the manufacturing I used Peco and some other turn outs on my previous layout and they also had faults with a few components.

    Interesting to follow how things evolve as time passes. Such as the trackwork change outlined in #27. Just like a prototype...

    I knew the 4's were a problem before I used them but had them on hand to do that small yard. Should have known better I guess.
