Age old question, like what came first the chicken or the egg. As I understand it, the soft rollers of the time like on the F3 pictured above, yes lots of roller wear. With modern rollers, only those with SuperO layouts can attest. Over the years the so called experts have stated the SuperO roller wear is over blown. Besides, rollers are easy to change out like traction tires.

I put my 6-18340 MU FM Demonstrator on my new (atlas) layout for the first time last night. It had only been run on Super-O for 14 years or so... the rollers look GREAT! However, I should have video'd it as the traction tires began flying all over the room!!! Fortunately, I had a full set of new tires... lashed back up and rolling.
