I use "The Tool "on the trucks and poli***he ends of the axles. I think there is no real justification for replacing plastic wheels. I use Kadee couplers because all others are less reliable. In fact, I mount the couplers and wheels with screws and nuts. If you add coupler lifts, brake rods, windows with curtains and more details, MDC cars look like more expensive versions. You might remove and replace the heavy plastic stirrups and it will look like brass. You can scribe the plastic to make it appear as wood. Painting wood models requires some multicoat techniques to get rid of the fuzz. LOL <br />Lindsay
