Hi Don....

My use of the word "track" was meant to include the entire Lionel track system 
which includes the switches as well.  Just looking at the catalog photos 
(drawings?) of the Lionel switches shows they are intended for AF wheels -- 
which makes total sense for a Lionel product.  There is no way I could suggest 
someone use the Lionel track system -- including switches -- with scale wheels.

Your point that scale wheels will work on plain straight/curved track is a good 
one.  No debate there.  But scale wheels will not work with AF switches, 
crossings and whatever else Lionel invents.  My suggestion to Rachael was to 
avoid splitting hairs and to steer her toward a genuine scale track system 
instead of getting frustrated  and tormented with switches that won't work with 
scale wheels.

Cheers...Ed L.
