I like Athern HO wheels because they have steel axles. I can poli***he steel points on an Arkansas stone. I use "The Tool" on the truck frames. I lube with dry graphite. My cars roll on 1/2 degree slope. I made a lathe for the Dremel drill stand and I can check each wheel for center and alinement when I poli***he axle points. The gauge the wheels after you reinstall them. I ran a check in the axle lengths and they vary significantly. I noticed the problem when I could not make some trucks roll. I notice my plastic wheels gather dirt on the layout so It is hard for me to belive steel wheels are essential. If you change wheel diameters, check the coupler height! Lindsay
