Lostock Junction was rebuilt with metal studs. The story is here: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.theplatelayers.org/coupling/lostock.htm">http://www.theplatelayers.org/coupling/lostock.htm</a><!-- m -->
Note that Mike also uses the studs for his fiddle yard -- a whole 8' train (well, 7'+) can be shfted off at one go.
On my layout and most of my previous ones, I use L-girder, even with flat-top designs. I haven't noticed warping.
