I'm not sure what you're trying to say here but wouldn't pivoting trucks handle curves and bad track better? My advice would be a lot different but perhaps not any better. 1.) Decide what you like and buy individual pieces instead of a train set. Restating make your own train set with better stuff and bit more money. 2.) Start simple and work your way into the hobby. 3.) Ask questions here or a club or LHS 4.) Build an Athearn kit of something you like to under how these things go together. 5.) Buy a truck tuning tool it will help your cars roll better no matter if they are you old train set from when you're a kid. 6.) Prowl the internet and your library for ideas and generally neat ways of doing things. 7.) Read a book on starting in hobby some company that begins with a K has a bunch of them. They have a web site but I'm not sure where it is. It maybe Kalmbach and this one. That's just off of the top of my head I might have better ones if I stop to think about it DT
