I had a problem with tight axels on new Walthers cars. Refer to my discussion last week "Wheels sets too tight". Locomotive3 put me on to a side frame reamer called the "exxact tool". I ordered one from the manufacturer, it arrived yesterday and I spent all last night reaming journals! It is a fantastixc tool. Cars that ran well now run superbly. The problem with tight axels is often the poorly formed journal or bearing "hole" into which the axel point fits. Cleaning out the plastic to a clean 60 degree cone made a huge improvement on cars that already ran well. <br />Thanks for the advice Locomotive3 <br />See http://reboxx.u2.spwh.com
