How are Delrin wheels with respect to collecting track crud? I've heard plastic wheels are problematic as they pick up/distribute crud on the rails.

Non-metal wheels will certainly pick up and collect dirt. I remember that from my HO modeling days, and had to change out every plastic pair of wheels to metal.
