Derrell,

Nice setup for picking up power.  One question though, do you notice any issue with the wheel treads getting dirty and interfering with the pickup or the wire wearing away the plating on the wheel's tread? I am wondering if it might be better to use a wider strip of phosphor bronze on the wheel tread. Or just have it rub on the backside of the wheel near the flange?  Just some thoughts from a fellow modeler who likes electrical challenges.

Best,
