Ed, if you are a manufacturer that's a scary statement! SHS, RRM and others
design and build models with wheel sets set to current NMRA/NASG standards to
run on trackwork built to those standards. When the standards get
"wishy-washy", problems are bound to happen. I recall Ed Loizeaux used to (and
I assume he still does) require others to check wheel alignment on any item
they want to run on his layout. Obtaining and learning how to use the
appropriate track and wheel standards gauge is vital...
I can tell you lots of stories of people buying product and saying, "it derails
all the time in switches". O.K., "do you won a track and wheel standards gauge
and have you checked wheels and turnouts to confirm they are in gauge?" Answer
- "No" The thought crosses my mind - this guy might want to reconsider S scale
operation... Good rule to follow: inspect what you expect.
