On current production diesels there is no choice. The FlyerChief engines I have seen have the small diameter rollers. The Legacy diesels rely on the wheels and springs to pick up the current and get it to the motor controller input. The spring are very fine wire which fails. Fortunately there is an aftermarket fix that uses heavier gauge springs because six of my seven new Legacy engines failed within days.

The original Gilbert sliding pickup shoes worked well on the Gilbert track until they wore through. That did not take long. Today there is not a good fix for those. The replacements are designed differently and are a challenge to install.

On FasTrac and SHS/MTH track (.138 NS) the rollers work much better in my opinion.
