Brakie, You figured it out, I own millions in stock of Life Like! But really, although I have bought almost 100% LLP2K wheel sets, my only bias was being able to replace all my plastic wheels with metal ones for the least amount of money. I also have some Kadee metal wheel sets and my branchline cars and Intermountain came with metal sets which I see no reason to change. <br /> <br />Virginian, My only reason for using metal wheels is; 1). I am convinced both my track and wheels stay cleaner. 2). I like the more scale appearence of the silver treads than the black treads of plastic. <br />Although you appear to be flying in the face of conventional wisdom, your choice of staying with plastic is your business and certainly sound. <br /> <br />If any of you decide to change over to metal wheels sets, don't throw your plastic wheels away. I have sold these on Ebay and am always amazed at how much they sell for! One container of 100 sold for $10.00.
