Also I have been adding shims to switches for years but don't think that will solve this problem. I have been praising Peco for a long time as many of you know. I am still thinking and looking. As I said at the start of this it will be a while before I get to this but don't want to wait till the last minute to start thinking out loud.
One advantage of putting this job off is that the NMRA is rewriting their standards. They are not changing the actual standard but rewriting it to make it more understandable to the manufacturers. In addition they are also trying to meet with manufacturers to show them what needs to be done to bring commercial offerings up to the standard. It may be that by the time you get to the actual modifications to the layout, your only problem will be to decide which manufacturer's product looks best to you.
