Ian, I gather you like LGB. You imply because they do something it must be right. <br /> <br />I know people that have had LGB sliders hang up. Could it also be that LGB is so great that the sliders are overkill? <br /> <br />Could it be that on certain garden railways that don't use oxidizing brass rail, and do not use 2' diameter curves, that sliders aren't necessary? <br /> <br />I'm taking issue with your blanket statement, and also your signature (with photo) is 20 times the size of your reply. <br /> <br />I'm not trying to cause trouble, but one-liners rarely have any helpful information in them, and my reply is because I asked a question about removing them, not how good LGB is. <br /> <br />Please take this as constructive criticism, not the prelude to a boxing match! <br /> <br />So, for anyone else, have they removed the sliders on equipment that also has pickup via the wheels? I don't like the appearance of the sliders, and while they can help "scrub" the rails, they can also accumulate dirt, and yes, even LGB sliders can jam up. I run DCC and with 10 amp supplies, overheated sliders have melted their "housings". <br /> <br />Regards, Greg <br /> <br />
