<p> Trix locos and rolling stock on sale in the US usually have wheel sets following NMRA´s RP 25 - the same stuff in Europe has different wheels with slightly larger flanges, according to NEM standards.</p><p>In Europe, the times of those dreaded pizza-cutter flanges are thankfully over. The equipment you now buy can run on code 100 and code 83 tracks, some even on code 70, but not all. In Europe, layouts feature much tighter radii than in the US, due to space limitations. Standard radius is still a 14 3/4" curve, just like in the old days. The bigger flanges are supposed to prevent derailments in sharp curves.<br></p><p>Marklin is still a different story. Even the newer stuff will not run on code 100 rail. <br></p>
