I know this question is most likely a matter of opinion but now that my layout is closer to being able to actually run a train on it I am looking at the "hand-me-down" rolling stock that I got from a friend back in the mid-80's when I was doing MRRing at that time. The Trucks and Wheelsets are plastic and from what I read here on the forum plastic wheels should not be used as it causes the track to get dirty faster. <br /> <br />1. When I start replacing the plastic wheels with metal, would it be a good idea to go ahead and replace the plastic trucks with metal? <br /> <br />2. If I replace the trucks Is there a big enough advantage to go ahead and spend the little extra while I am replacing and buy roller bearing type? <br /> <br />3. And last but not least which manufacter would be a good choice, Kadee or ?? <br /> <br />
