Howdy.
Was thinking of starting a new layout, I’ve learnd alot with the last three, and want to use code 55 n scale flex track this time instead of 80. Word is though that atlas n 55 will not hold micro train wheels. I’ve been warned of this through n scale supply and this would suck as most of my cars have these wheels. I thought I had heard this problem was corrected but I could be wrong. Word?
thanks for any help. scookam
First, bear in mind that standard Micro Trains wheels are not manufactured to meet the NMRA RP25 profile. The track isn’t the problem. Also, there are a number of options to replace the wheels. Some are not too expensive, such as the plastic wheelsets offered by Atlas.
If you’re dealing with a relatively small fleet, it’s not that big a deal. I’ve got over 300 freight cars, and probably had to re-fit about half of them. It took a little time, but it’s done. The vast improvement in the appearance of the track makes it a worthy investment. Don’t let the tail wag the dog.
