    While testing a track plan I discovered a small problem with my Rokuhan turnouts. The spot where the point snugs into the rail has a small burr from where the pocket has been ground. It seems that all my turnouts have it to some degree. It didn't cause a problem at first, but I noticed the loco wiggle going over it. After I found the problem, it was an easy fix with a sanding block with a very fine emery cloth. My turnouts were from the early production, so it might have been fixed on the newer stuff. Anyway, the fix was fast and fairly painless. Just thought I would give y'all a heads up on it. Other than this, I love my Rokuhan track.It has been very forgiving.

    Interesting information. Can you post photos of what you are describing? It would be most helpful.

    The rail in the foreground has the burr. You can kind of see it on the rail top just where the point pocket is. This is the best picture I could manage with my camera.

    Cheers
