[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by IRONROOSTER</i> <br /><br />When I was in HO, I found the old Central Valley trucks were the best - sprung and equalized. They would track over rough track where others would derail. <br />Enjoy <br />Paul <br />[/quote] <br /> <br /> That has been my deciding factor with going with sprung trucks actually. The sectional track I am using is prone to occasional misalignment since it is not permanently mounted to anything right now. The sprung trucks I have on my two new Athearn cars allow me to go up to full throttle forwards or reverse without any attempts to derail due to misalignment of the track joints. <br /> <br /> All in all I think the bettendorf truck is more than I need really. And why spend almost another dollar per pair of trucks for the three spring roller bearing trucks when I dont really need them. I do like the metal trucks best though,
