But i have a lot of derailments because of the wheels, they arent good for marklin switches. Anyone with the same problem solved? Please your recomendation on non marklin wheels. Marklin wheels doesn't fit those cars unfortunatelly Thanks! Best regards and take care

The wheel spacing for DC (isolated) wheels is usually greater than 14.1 mm. So, either you reduce the wheel spacing or replace the DC (isolated) wheel sets with preferably non-isolated wheel sets from either Märklin, Roco or from another manufacturer. You have to look at the end of the wheel axle to determine which kind of wheel set you need. https://duckduckgo.com/?...iax=images&ia=images Willy

The wheel width and the height of the flange may cause a fine scale wheel to get stuck in the Märklin frog. In that case the wheel set needs replacing May be this can help https://railway.zone/pos...eelsets-and-measurements Cheers Jean
