Meanwhile i replaced all semi-scale wheels like RP25/88 and others with the regular RP25/110 for smoother operation.
Yes the semi scale wheels ran anyhow, but every wheel bounces into the frogs. Thus causing irregular stalling when pushing a string of cars at low speeds during switching operations. Most of my rolling stock has equalized running gear.
I had Atlas Code 83 and Peco Streamline Code 83 rails and switches. These work great with code 110 wheels, but code 88 and smaller wheels will fall right into the frogs. To avoid this you have to alter all the frogs and guard rails on all of your switches.
And when you do the efforts the rebuilt all the switches to the semi scale standards and this is my question:
Why do you not switch completely over to real Fine-Scale standards?
