Good Morning All:
Was wondering if anyone on the HONGZ forum had experience running stock from other manufacturers on their MARKLIN Gauge 1 track.
MARKLIN does not post the CODE of the rail online - at least where I can find it - but it's nice track with a more shallow rail profile vs. say LGB which is CODE 332 and is a bit visually oversized for what I hope to accomplish.
I am looking for INDOOR TRACK only so I'll not have the weather worries for this portion of the layout.
I bring this up because I recently picked up four (4) pieces of MTH 1:32 rolling stock. The HOPPERS roll flawlessly - the cabooses however 'click' as they roll down the track. The flanges appear to be striking the small plastic molded rail fasteners on the MARKLIN track. One dealer indicated that this is an issue with older MTH wheel sets and a replacement set might solve it. But this got me thinking about the MTH locos and their ability to run on the lower profile MARKLIN track. Then of course you start wondering about USA TRAINS, ARISTO, KM1 and others being able to run on the track. I do not use FINE SCALE wheel sets on anything so the flanges are all going to be NEM or 'standard'.
If anyone has any experience here - would love to hear from you. Many thanks and Happy Easter.
