Atlas buys Branchline's Inventory.

[Charlie B]

I built the 4 sleepers that I bought but when I put them on the track they wouldn't round a 56 inch radius curve without derailing. I did a lot of Internet research and everyone seemed to be saying build them and display them. I did a little cutting on the bottom for clearance and that still didn't help until I took the trucks off and discovered that where they were mounted the body was concave and allowed no flexing of the truck at all. took some moto tool work, but made the pocket convex by cutting the material away from the area of the truck mounting screw and this allowed the truck to have side and up and down clearance and now they will make it through a number 4 turnout, and a number 6 crossover without problems with all 4 coupled together.
These are darned nice cars, but the retail prices would never have attracted me at all.
