My layout is a mixture of K/C and I have had one bad experience with another manufacturer catching/derailing on K-Track points so I am now cautious with looking at other manufacturers. Thanks.

Hallo , So to be frank nowadays I am on my knees running ESU on carpet ( permanent Märklin layout was demolished/dismantled due to my sickness) and I have to report that on C track no issues noticed ( long C switches) My BR 218 , 200, 78 performed quite nicely! Regards, Märklineisenbahn

In these days (I have experience with all the new ESU models) there is no problem at all on all Märklin track systems. They run excellent. Regards Costas
