The pizza cutter wheels are not the problem. As you'll not in my original post, I would consider it a no-brainer if all I had to do was buy bulk packs of low-profile wheelsets from Microtrains and replace the wheelsets on all my cars (all my cars ride on MT trucks already, so this really would be no big deal). <br />But I'm not about to turn/machine/replace drivers on 20 semi-scratchbuilt steam locos, and another 20 or so diesels. I've got a handful of Kato stuff that would run fine on it, but everything else would need a major modification. <br /> <br />And besides, while I wasn't going to bring this up, while I think the Atlas track looks pretty good, and it's very inexpensive compared to ME, I frankly think the ME track looks quite a bit better. <br /> <br />So.... a few modified Atlas crossings will do the trick. With minimal pain, you can file down the inside plastic detail, and almost everything will then run on it. <br />
