For those who built stands with Micro-mark rollers on track, did you have issues with the pickup block "rocking" on the center rail due to the screw holding the pickup shoe being slightly too proud? This is the case with the set I just received (whether I mount it on O or O27 tubular, don't have nay other track to try it on).

I'm late to this topic.  If I need to start a new one, someone let me know and I will.  I have the same question as Rich posted because I just built a test track with a sliding pilot bed from MartyE's tips on You Tube.  Has anyone come up with any modifications to the Micro Mark rollers that allows them to position their engines more evenly by replacing the screws?  Also, has anyone tried the Proses rollers and how do they compare to Micro Mark's?  I've only tried one engine on my test track and it's a lighter Railking SD60 diesel engine.  I got it to work using the 4 roller set but it did not work  until I set the roller set with the center rail bar underneath the fake wheel pair where the pick-up roller was, and then was able to use an added pair working wheels on an additional set of rollers.  But the engine doesn't sit evenly.  Seems like there's got to be some easy modifications to make the rollers work better on tubular track.
