I put an ohm meter on the wheels and no continuity.
Since they make both 2-rail and 3-rail stuff, their wheelsets may share a design that is insulated.

Check them with an ohm meter. Touch probes to each wheel. Should show a complete circuit. If so, they should conduct. They would have to be exta light not to work if metal axles.

Have you put a voltmeter on the wheels to see if they conduct current?

I have a section of insulated rail (GarGraves three rail) and all my equipment with metal wheels actuate the signals in that section. However, I have three Atlas flat cars, with auto load, that the box states "metal wheels" but will not operate the signals. The wheels have been cleaned and still no operation. Does Atlas use some type of exotic metal in the wheel or axle that does not conduct a current?
