Reply to "Micro Mark Rollers, how many to get??"

Actually, that's not an ideal solution.  The problem is that the brass contact needs to have some spring left so it makes good contact with the center rail.

GRJ,

Yes, I misstated that.  By "more even" I meant to take some of the spring lift off, but not all of it, so that the brass still makes good contact.  So I did that and grounded the screw down and the center rail roller set is way more stable for setting engines in place.  And it works great, especially on lighter Rail King engines, as they now sit flush across the track.

Micromark sends these roller sets with the brass bent up too far, making the center rail roller set rock back and forth while the other roller sets sit nice and flush.  And the center screw holding the brass contact is too thick, but grinding it down solves the problem.
