Reply to "Fully insulated wheelsets?"

So far it looks like I have 4 options:

1.) intermountain wheel sets. I ordered a pack and they are nice, but only insulated on one side. Not a problem GeForce the layout I'm currently building, since the trains are only gluing to run in one direction, I can just put the insulated side on the hot rail And that solves that. In the future thouoh might be a different story. Also I have to check how the lower flanges deal with ross switches and frogs.

2.) Atheran Wheelsets. Plastic so solves any future issues, but might have the same problem with the flanges.

3.) Atlas wheels which are metal and fully insulated on both slides. Solves the long term problem, but again flanges and the switch might be an issue.

4.) Lionel plastic Wheelsets from the MPC era. (Ugh). Solves the problem of insulation and the flange problem.

I'll be trying them all and let you know what works.
