I've been thinking about using Micro Engineering Code 40 track for my layout. I plan on hand-laying, but I got a piece of flex-track to test it out and see if it was something I'd want to go with. My Intermountain cars, cars with low-profile MT wheels, et cetera roll on it as smooth as glass. As expected the bigger MT and Atlas wheels clatter like a jackpot wheel at a school fair.
I don't have any problem with going ahead with either the Fox Valley wheels (or the relatively cheaper MT low profile wheel packs), but I'm not sure what I'd do for the locos.
Does anyone else run Code 40 for more than a siding or two here? Is it difficult to find wheel replacements if the locos clatter too much?
I may be able to live with Code 55 if it winds up being too much, but I love the way those tiny rails look...
