Greetings everyone: This is my first post, and I thought I'd jump in here to look for a little guidance. Since November of last year, I've been aggressively collecting locomotives and rolling stock. It's been great fun, and I've very quickly learned my likes, and dislikes. My #1 pet peeve is locos that waddle down the track. There is something about a train that wobbles that gives the impression of poor craftsmanship, and a toy-like appearance. I've weeded out the majority of locomotives that were most offensive, but have hung on to two because I'm so fond of them. What is interesting is that the two I still have are made in China by Atlas. I'm not certain what I should expect from these units. I have other locomotives built for Atlas by Kato, and they are a dream to watch glide down the track. Now my questions: 1) Is it too much for me to expect that the Chinese units run as smoothly as the Kato units? 2) Is there any techniques for truing wheels? Thanks in advance for for any advice I may receive! Best regards, Roberto UP Milwaukee Road Amtrak
