What track are you running?  How well is your track laid?  If it's not perfect, scale wheel flanges will find it on every pass...Matt posted a youtube video of an MTH Big Boy with scale wheels (flanges and all) on 3R tracks.  You may want to take a look.

Thank you.

As everything is dismantled and the new one will be considerably larger, track will start from scratch.  Will be using flex track and some pre-made turn outs, others will be Fast Tracks turnouts ( i am aware those are made for 2R turnouts).  Have not yet decided on the brand of trackage.  Sold off the previous sectional track to a local club.

Going with spline design track support structure for all the obvious benefit reasons.

My recollection: generally trailing trucks and tender trucks are screwdriver deals.

Lead trucks generally require re-drilling and pressing operations.  It is so easy that I have been known to do them in exchange for 2-rail trinkets and postage.

Thank you Bob2.

I will keep that in the front of my mind.
