Reply to "Best 3-rail for all eras of wheels - those big flanges"

The issue with early Marx is that the gears on the wheels of some locomotives basically made the flanges wider (the gears were behind the flange).  The only track system I know that has switches or turnouts made to accommodate the "wide flanges" is Marx's which had spring loaded wing rails and no guard rails (which create another problem) so you have to decide which compromises you're willing to live with.
