[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by vsmith John, The trouble with the set Capt C has is that the wheels cannot be replaced with metal wheels. Thats why I said he'd have to add some weights inside if he wanted to mix. I have found that standard plastic wheeled cars like LGB HLW mini-cars or even Bachmann perform badly with plastic wheels, the metal wheels add some heft to the cars but boy do they run better. This is especially so with small two axle cars, I have replaced almost all of my wheels, the only holdouts being my newest TOYTRAIN finds and these Echo set cars. Also plastic wheels should NEVER be left on the track in the sun, they WILL melt if the rails are hot from sunshine. If you want to know, I can explain what I did to the cars to replace the two axle set up with a 4 axle-2 truck set up using Aristcraft trucks. It was fairly simple and didnt take too much time, I just have to borrow a digital camera and I can then forward the photos of what I did. [/quote] Thanks for your efforts, would like to see those image of the cars you mention. I just feel I need some "cheap"medium from which to try a few things that would lead to the destruction of a higher quality item.
