Thanks for the feedback, Nigel ... definitely a big help. It appears that there are specific sloping rails and girders for the Advance series on ebay so maybe the issues I read about have already been solved.
I agree with you that the Advance trains look that much better than the normal size. There's something about the wheels on the standard size models that sort of turns me off, but I think these smaller trains just look beautiful and have more of a "train" feel as opposed to something that looks like it would roll just fine down the highway.
So where does everyone buy their trains and supplies? I know there are other options besides ebay, but what do the experts suggest??
