Hi everyone, I have some kind of triangle Junction on my layout. Using DCC there's no big problem with an AR1 or lenz LK100 BUT... I can't run my kato trains (superliner / Nozomi 500 / kamome) trough these sections... In fact all the trucks have current pickup and make shorts every times the trains are on both end of the reversing section ... did anyone tried to replace the Kato metal wheels by some atlas or MT plastic wheels?
The Intermountain 36" wheels fit. They are a little difficult to install between the bronze truck frame inserts without damaging the platic bearing points. It is best to remove the truck from the car first so you can bend the sides out easier. I install the axle on coupler end first. However if you do it right they roll almost as well as the stock Kato metal wheels.
