i've heard that the newer rolling stock had different axles that roll easier- and i thought my rolling stock had free rolling axles-but i never understood how some people pull as many as 60 cars w/ 1 engine-then i got 2 fairly new cars in the bargan bin at the LHS- and they roll so easy- 2 new cars roll easier than 1 old one-so in theroy i should be able to pull twice as many new cars as old ones- so i did a test in the 2 track yard- i hooked the 2 new cars together on 1 track and 1 old car on the other track- and gave both "consists" an equal push at the same time and the new cars rolled out on to the mainline(at least 2') and the old car moved about 10"- i apologize for any typing errors, my computer won't let me go back & correct them it just erases letters i try to change[:(!]
