[quote user="doctorwayne"]No, but in regular HO scale trucks, they also over-emphasise the too-wide sideframes on the trucks.  A friend uses them, but they can be a little fussy on some turnouts, and I don't really care for their appearance.[/quote] Which is why you replace the trucks as well. [quote user="doctorwayne"]Yeah, I had briefly considered Proto-87, but converting steam locos to fit-in, appearance-wise, pretty-much killed that thought, along with the prospect of replacing several hundred feet of track and 70 or 80 turnouts.[/quote]  The steam is what killed it for me.  The track isn't so different, its really the turnouts and crossings where you need tighter tolerances. Code 88 is a good compromise for me personally.
