Locomotives - without even talking about traction tires, I just have a hard time dragging the drive wheels of a locomotive down a re-railing ramp or over a re-railer track.but that's just me. Most of my freight cars are equiped with these Kadee trucks which have also been refitted with Intermountain metal wheelsets - producing the most free rolling truck you will ever find. The truck has a special bolster and bolster pin that aligns the trucks with the car when the truck is suspended in mid air, making it easier to place on the track.
A never talked about feature Kadee introduced a few decades ago. Convert all your freight cars to Kadee "self centering" trucks. I have ZERO trouble putting HO models on the track.Īnd here is a tip that makes it easier. I'm not plopping them on the track and running them back and forth by hand. Some of my equipment in HO is pretty pedestrian, like Athearn Blue box cars, but some of it is high end, high detail RTR, or craftsman kits with lots of carefully built detail. I guess it depends on how you use them, but I have always considered the ramps and the re-railer track as being a little "brutal" with the equipment in HO.
OK, for N scale I can see the little ramp as useful, but I can put an N scale car on the track without any real difficulty.
