GET READY TO JUMP!!
1 von 1 finden das hilfreich These switches are pretty solidly made--perhaps too solidly or maybe not solidly enough, it's hard to tell.
FIRST, let me say that I know thatI've made some track/curve connections that are applying a little more stress on the switch & curve tracks than I should be applying; however, there are 2 big problems that these switches have.
First, SNAPPING THEM TOGETHER--Even if the tracks are laid straight, they sometimes JUST DON'T WANT TO EASILY SNAP TOGETHER, and unfortunately, I'VE SNAPPED OFF MULTIPLE GUIDE "BARS" IN THE PROCESS OF PUTTING THEM TOGETHER AND TAKING THEM APART.
Secondly, IF THE TRACKS APPROACHING, CONNECTING TO AND CONNECTING FROM THE SWITCH AND THE SWITCH ITSELF ARE NOT PERFECTLY FLAT IN A 2-DIMENSIONAL PLANE, THE SWITCH WILL MORE OFTEN THAN NOT FAIL TO CLOSE ALL OF THE WAY AND YOUR TRAIN WILL DE-RAIL===over and over and over again.
SIGH.

TOO Big & To Stiff
0 von 1 finden das hilfreich This tool would be a lot more effective and useful if it was smaller and made of a flexible rubber-like material. As it is, you need at least a foot of STRAIGHT track to set it down in PLUS more straight track for the length of the cars you want to re-rail. I can only use it for ONE CAR and only in one place on my set-up that has a longe enough section of straight track. I purchased 4 o these to set around the layout so as not to have to be continuously reaching and grabbing to get one for each derailment.
Most of the time, it's just as easy to re-rail by hand, which is VERY TEDIOUS AND SELF-DEFEATING.
