I haven't used Garry Raymond ball bearing wheels, but i have used LGB ones and i can tell you they are terrific. I would say they reduce drag by half. I have a postal van with them and it rolls so well it has nearly destructed itself from rolling off benches. Of course the LGB ones have power pick ups as well and these are also a godsend, many things i do i could not do without them>

I don't have this particular type of Gary Raymond wheelsets, but I have put his ball bearing wheelsets onto 4 AMS 1:20.3 scale cattle cars. Some slight modification of the AMS sideframes was necessary to fit his wheels, but they are the best and freest rolling wheelsets I have ever used.

In the October 2006 issue they are A33BHL, Ball Bearing Wheels for Aristo Rotating End Caps, so the other may have simply been a typographical error.
I notice in my latest edition of GR (August) on page 8 the stock number is A33BLH and on page 12 the stock no is A33BHL. What am I missing here?
