I just substituted the intermountain ball bearing non-insulated HO wheel set on my new HO-Walthers 85'budd passenger car and yes, there's a big difference in free rolling ability. The intermountain unit was parked at the peak of an atlas 3" trestle set(2.6 grade) and with a burst of my own hot air, the car just sailed down the grade. <br />The Walthers set just stalled. I did not test the intermountain non-ball bearing versus their ball bearing which may or may not justify the premium price.This added set already added to a pricey car <br />makes this a expensive car.
