Rob:
I've had problems with British locos and Atlas switches for over 50 years. Things may be getting better, but the older locos will still hate NMRA standard switches.
The problem is in 2 places. The flange is too wide and rides up on the guard rail. The back-to-back is too narrow and the wheel pinches the guard rails on opposite sides and then rides up on them. (if you're that type, the check gauge is narrow as well.)
I also have problems with old TriAng locos on Peco finescale points.
You may want to check the flangeways against the Peco ones. Probably everything would need widening.
What size Y is it? I may have some spare code 100 or code 70 I can bring to GBTS.
