Reply to "How difficult is it to convert trucks to use roller bearings?"

 I hope anyone who reads this and run long trains will try this. Connect all the cars you wish to run and try to pull them up any hill on your layout. When I do this outside with my G scale, I am amazed that these toy trains work so hard. I can only imagine some club that runs for hours, burning up stuff hauling heavy trains? So I always do this before deciding on what power to add to the train. I have less than 2 % grade outside. When I put about fifty cars together, the effort to move them up the hill is big. The  high track going into my shed approaches 3%. I break trains apart before attempting that run. I started putting bearings into my USA trains (heavy) metal cars. They are already in the Accucraft passenger cars. So I can't help but want them inside on my O scale layout even though it's much flatter.
