Hi Bob, I've had that problem a couple of times with metal framed cars. The
main thing to minimize the problem is to make sure all the insulated wheels are
on the same side of the car. Then use plastic couplers instead of metal so 2
cars coupled together with different wheel polarity can't short thru the
couplers. If the cars can be left spanning an insulated reverse block gap the
cure would be nylon screws and insulating washers between the truck and body
bolsters.
If double insulated wheels sets are still needed they can be obtained from
NWSL or other supplier, probably at a slightly higher price....Dave Branum
