I have a bunch of Micro Trains flex track. Looking at obtaining the Atlas Z scale turnouts. Before I commit to purchasing them has anyone used the MT flex with the new Atlas turnouts? Thank you Alan
Yes, but you will need the correct rail joiner combination. The MTL joiner (similar to MicroEngineering) works great. Atlas has not release the Z scale joiners included with the turnouts and you should not use the Atlas N scale c55 joiners as they are LONG and loose. Just remember: Roadbed and rail head height: bottom of ties to top of rail is slightly-slightly different so some fine shimming is required (like paper thicknesses) Rail of MTL is more to scale (narrow/smaller) than Atlas (near identical to Rokuhan, märklin or Peco) so you will need to file the insides of the thicker Atlas rail to better align with MTL flex.
