I have not had any issues with ACME on K-Track. I have to add that I have not spent too much time with that as I have been using C-Track for my setups more and more since 2010, so the experience was mainly with my initial ACME models (Cisalpino, Treno Notte and the SBB Eurofima coaches).

I run plenty of them on my lay-out (k track, r3 as a minimum). I recommend to change the wheel sets to AC. The standard DC have Lower flanges which may cause problems on switches.

Not really. I use R3 as a minimum.

However I have quite a few 2268/9 turnouts, which I believe have a R2 inner curve. They run through those as wel.

But like I said, for this it is important to change the DC wheel sets for AC.
