Been away for a couple of days... Anyways, Kadee trucks are the only choice for me since I only model with sprung trucks. Too bad noone makes locos with sprung trucks. Now, the problem with Kadee wheels is they have plastic needle axles. Using dry lubricants isn't an option, it appears such lubricants don't stick to plastic. My only resort is a bit ot while grease which makes things better but not very lasting. Placing IM wheels, even those metal needle-point won't work because Kadee trucks are metal and thus will short rails. My only hope is if roller ball-bearing IM wheels have ends isolated from wheels i.e. won't cause short. Can someone who owns any check how the axle is built on them. Money isn't an issue since you get what you pay for - I've learned it sometimes the hard way in this hobby :)
