I'll have to have it checked to be sure, but in just checking against the width of the rails, there is side-to-side play between the flanges and the rails on the loco. Seems to be the same as the axles on the cars. What I do notice however is that the metal wheels on the cars (single axle trucks) aren't terribly smooth - almost like there's a texture to them. Like I wrote in another post, the trucks don't really turn as it makes its way through the corners - they stay relatively straight and drag their way through. The trucks aren't binding at all on their own, but the metal wheels (being fixed and not allowed to turn independently) don't slide easily on the rails, and combined with the lousy coupler design, seem to mean that's just the way they are. Running the loco on its own around the track is nice and smooth, but sliding a car around produces a grinding/squeaking sound. I'm thinking of polishing down the wheels on the cars to take the little bit of texture off to see if that helps.
