Seems to be a common opinion that the skates are a pain - the spring pressure is very high on some and reduces traction , looks unrealistic and  doesnt run well on complex pointwork. I am considering removing the skates from my 2-4-0 lgb switcher . For such a big heavy loco its tractive effort is dreadful. Maybe add tender pickups to compensate . I have an aristocraft rogers  - runs well , powerful, never derails and never have a power pickup problem - it doesnt have skates either........................ If anyone has run LGB without skates I would be interested in results.
