A slight fray in the thread, here, if I may: I've been using Kadee wheels for a good many years before there were other choices. The black coating wears off with enough mileage, and you have a shiny tread, just like prototype cars, and for the same reason. Yes, I've also tried P2K, Intermountain, NW Shortline and a buncha others, including LBF's stock sintered metal. All of 'em are better than plastic, some are better than others. I can't honestly say there's enough difference to cleave to only one unto death. BUT -- here's where I take a turn off this thread -- My rails have been a LOT cleaner since I STOPPED using Goo-Gone. This stuff left a continuing layer of goo (ironically enough) on the rails that attracted more dirt. I am now cleaning wheels and track with 91% denatured alcohol. No residue. I know, this will start another war -- like Wahl Clipper Oil a decade or so ago. Summary: Metal wheels, good, Plastic wheels, bad. Goo-gone, not my choice.
