Another thing to consider is the use of metal trucks as well as the wheels. <br /> <br /> I was running plactic wheels and truck for a while before I recently upgraded to metal wheels on all my rolling stock and metal trucks with springs non most of them. <br /> <br /> The difference is like night and day in ride quality and also in the cleanliness of the track. <br /> <br /> And when you run DCC a clean track makes you a happy engineer. A diry track is not good. I was having to clean my track once a month ( three smokers in this house plus losts of pust and pollen) and now I only clean it abotu once every 6 months, I am about to try the radio shack tuner cleaner method that supposedly allows you to only clean things once a year or so once I redo my layout.
