<P>Personally, I would go with the Kadees or if another brand go with one that has a coil spring to close the knuckle. The plastic lever type if parked with the knuckles bound together will take the "spring" out og the plastic lever and the knuckle will no longer close. I went with metal wheels for there weight and the fact, as mentioned earlier, that they help keep the rails clean. I've found the Intermountain brand of wheelsets fits most snap-in trucks good enough that the wheels will stay in the truck. I use a small drill bit to remove some material from the journal in the axle fits too tight. They make a too called a truck tuner to do this, but the drill bit works OK for me. One manufacturer makes wheelsets with different length axles that will fit trucks with to wide a span between journals. Tweet</P>
