Your Gargraves/Ross video was low speed and short with one car. I have had very poor luck with scale flanges on this track. I might be fine for 10 laps or so but eventually, for no reason, you will get derailments. Show me a full train on a layout. I have a customer who swears his works too so I am not saying you are wrong....maybe it is both of my layouts???

I had the same thoughts. One thing to consider with using 2-Rail SCALE wheel sets on various types of HiRail/3-Rail track is; the tread width of the particular 2-Rail SCALE wheels being used. I have found, through trial and error, that the Weaver 2-Rail SCALE wheel sets have a slightly wider tread width, and thus tend to track much better backing a long train through various turnouts in the yard. Conversely, the Atlas 2-Rail SCALE wheels have a narrower tread width, and do NOT track as well, while MTH 2-Rail SCALE freight car trucks tend to track almost as well as the Weaver product, on 3-Rail track.
