My club's layout uses Gargraves track and over the years some gaps have appeared usually between sections where tracks join. I had an older Geep lose a roller in such a gap and a friend now has 2 engines so afflicted.
If your track is nearly gap-less I'd guess you will have no issues. We were thinking of using 3/8" wide thin metallic tape over the gaps during shows to eliminate the gaps.
Something like this:

Mark, l have noticed that you mentioned loosing the pick up rollers on a couple of engines. I am wondering how much travel the rollers on those engines had, when I pick up the GP the rollers movement down is almost inperceptible.
