The Schaefer pin stop cars will still not slide under load, even with a tackle to pull them. I'd recommend you talk to Guido at Gauheur. They will sell you ball bearing cars that fit your 1-1/4" "I" Meriman track and you'll love them. Insist on the ball bearing version, otherwise he will sell you the Delrin bearing version, which is not as good IMO. You do have to be careful installing the ball bearing cars, because the balls are loose and you could drop them. That's why they sell more Delrin versions. The ball bearing version come on a short piece of track which you butt up to you existing track and slide it on. It's really that easy.
