J J <br /> <br />This is a great question. I'm looking at the same problem, and I am glad to get the help. I have also heard about 38 inch dia. wheels. Where are these used? Passenger cars only? What would be the beginning date? (I have some Amtrack Streamline cars made by Athern for example) Would I use 38 inch wheels on Well cars? What about other intermodal equipment? <br /> <br />As for my experience, I have used a roller bearing truck from Con Cor which is very free rolling and adds weight (which is important for the Impak Trailer cars for example). I have been happy with these although I have them on only a few cars right now. I don't know how they compare to the other brands noted before, but they are all big name companies in modeling so I would expect them all to perform well. <br /> <br />My 2 cents. - Ed
