I've got about a 125 cars and most I was able to get the right height by using the Kadee red and/or gray washers. Never used more than 2 per truck, if it needed more, then I went to the offsets. To keep them pivoting smoothly "spill" a little graphite on your work surface and rub the washers on the spot. No graphite?, rub a pencil on a peice of paper like your coloring a picture and rub the washers on that (it's just compressed graphite). You don't need much, just enough to give the red ones a little shading. They'll pivot freely. (GENTLY rub a pencil on the tip of the axles they'll spin like mad) <br /> <br />Luck - Pat
