You are probably right in all honesty. <br /> <br /> I went to the local LHS to get some #5 Kadees and a new DC power supply. <br /> <br /> Well I got one pack of #5's just top give them a shot, I also picked up a Chessie B&O Caboose Kit and a Chessie Gondola kit as well as a set of Kadee Bettendorf Trucks (Only set of metal trucks they had in stock) <br /> <br /> I must say I am impressed with the quality of these trucks and they do indeed come with Kadee metal wheelsets in them. I put them on the caboose an gave her a little push on my test track which is a loop with 18 inch radius curves. It went all the way around the 180 and halfway down the straightaway. <br /> <br /> It The sprung trucks do indeed soften the noisse a little bit though My only other car with metal wheels is twice as loud. But I am definitely sold on Knuckle couplers, Kadee all the way now.
