I have been in N-Scale since 1973 and have learned to make almost any loco run as well as today's Kato's. My problem in trying to switch from Code 80 to Code 55 is the depth of the wheel flanges on the early locomotives. Have any of you found a soulution to this? Does anyone, OEM or third party, make replacement wheelsets? Can ypu chuck these in a dremel and grind down the flange enough that the loco is no longer riding the ties without the width of the flange binding in turnout frogs? Anything made in last 5 years seems to handle code 55 without any problems. <br /> <br />Terry Smith
