Bob,
That's a hard one to answer. First, they are all different and have their own quirks. I have not had any trouble with any of the Lionel motors with wheel/flanges still intact. The sencond part of this equation, I don't use Lionel/MTH switches so I can not answer it fully. I think that would be a question for another thread.
