Probably lots of "it depends" answers to this. For me it was a simple matter to replace wheels on rolling stock I had with Microtrains, but then they already all had Microtrains trucks, and I didn't have that many to begin with. As to locomotive, I have a Kato P42, which is not too old a model. It was extremely close to being a problem, in fact for some of the sectional pieces I got and a few of the flextrack lengths, the flanges did rumble on the ties (actually the little molded spikes that hold the rail to the tie). Some manufacturing variation coming into play, apparently, and I had enough extra track that I just set those pieces aside. For the majority I'd guess there was just the most minimal of clearance, where they may touch down on curves depending on how fast the train was going. <br /> <br />Just a few days ago I decided to grind down the flanges on the loco a little just to be sure. This seems to have worked out well. <br /> <br />Mike
