Yes you are correct,sir.....the "scale" wheels of cars and equipment have no problem with any 2-rail AF track and switches, as the AF switch amounts to a "closed frog" concept (although its the ends of the running rail and not actually the "frog" that moves back and forth to close the "gap". This prevents the scale wheels from droping into the frog...the only two things I can think of, that prevent all scale cars and loco's to operate is the tight radius of AF track and the 90 deg. crossing that would allow wheels to drop down into the "frogs" of this crossing. On my hand made crossings this is not a problem...I can use both scale and AF wheels interchangably. Essentially there is no reason to have the "huge" flanges and oversized angled wheel treads, to assure great high speed operation for those that find this important, for me I like to run at slower speeds.
