<P mce_keep="true">One more reply. </P> <P mce_keep="true">Almost none of my 6 axle diesels have a problem with #4s. I have more than two dozen ranging from budget Spectrum SD45s and Dash 8s to Katos. Only 3 or 4 out of the thirty or so, might be a little balky.</P> <P mce_keep="true">However, I would still go with the #6s if I were you. I had to move the switch motors back from their normal postions to custom connections wherever the switch was connected to a curve.</P> <P mce_keep="true">Also, the 6s yield proper parallel spaced yards, where as #4s force greater space between the sets of tracks in a yard than is realistic.</P> <P mce_keep="true">I would never use #4s again, but I didn't know better.</P> <P mce_keep="true"> </P>
