All good advice. I'm not fond of Kadee or other sprung trucks because I find they don't reset after a shift in elevation causing derailments in rough track work. In other words they will move out of plumb for a hump and then don't settle back square on the rails. This holds a wheel off of the track until it catches and derails on a frog, turn or another bump. I always end up using CA on these trucks to freeze the springs and turn them into rigid side trucks. I know there are those out there who swear by them, but I thought I would present another opinion. I prefer P2K and some of the newer MDC trucks with metal wheels. Both of these truck brands are a good value (especially the MDC). They are not as detailed as the Kadees but not as expensive or problematic. I still will use Kadees when I need a type of older truck that no one else makes. My two cents worth, Guy
