I looked around and Peco are the first alternative indeed.
I case of lack of reliability of the Atlas #4 switches and top mounted switch machine do I intend to replace them with Peco #5 insufrog switches and top mounted PL 11 switch machines.
Do we have some experience with that combination? Especially two questions
1. is the dead frog in the #5 insufrog short enough to cause no trouble in staging yards?
2. is the PL 11 switch machine reliable and primary intended for code 100 also useable for Peco code 83 switches? I found some discussions but no final statement of an owner of that combination.
