Code 100 Track Quandary -- Peco Compared to Atlas

[RobertInOntario]

Rob: There was a thread somewhere (RMWeb?) by a modeller who had tried to reduce the flanges on an old TriAng. He claimed to have worn out all the cutters in two shops before he had them down. The rumour is that TriAng got a deal on some old tank armour.
My old TriAng bounces on Peco fine scale (code 75) and one brand of scale bullhead (not the other). I don't remember it bouncing on Atlas back in the 60s, but I never had much of it then.
I have no suggestions to offer on improving Atlas track.

Thanks, David. I just laid two pieces of Peco Code 100 track on my layout's inner loop and this solved the problem nicely. So the inner loop is almost totally made up of a combination of Peco and old Hornby Dublo (Code 125) track. My Triang switcher now runs very well, except that it often stops at the turnouts! I think that this might be caused by the large flanges again but it's not that serious (I can tolerate it for now).

So, based on what you say above, and because I've fixed most of the problems, I don't think I'll file the Triang's wheels.
