My personal opinion (other than being NG) is Bman is like, how do I put it nicely [8)], well let's say that it's not the best brand to buy. I've heard more talk about messed up stuff(problems) with Bman. Even though I don't buy Bman, I do buy their metal wheels for my MOW cars and my american series 1/29th boxcars too. I got one set once where there was 2 sized wheels on the same axle [:O] I didn't discover this until after putting it on the car I was working on [:(] <br /> <br />[img]http://gold.mylargescale.com/GN_Rocky/Bman_Dud.jpg[/img] <br /> <br />Now I know that boo-boos do happen from time to time, but you've got to be on drugs or very hung over to let this one slip by [V] <br /> <br />I still buy Bman wheels sets, but I'd never buy Bman either. I did once have two of their ten wheels back when I first started in G scale, but I was dissapointed buy the lack of quality in their products. The one 10 wheeler I ran died less than 10 hours after I first got it. Seems that all the plating on the wheels wore off and the loco ran erraticly and arched where the wheels met the track. The second 10 wheeler I had ran under the christmas tree for a coupler hours until I got the Lionel 4-4-2 which replaced it. I sold the Bman ASAP before the wheels wore out. The other thing I noted on Bman was they put the doors on their boxcars BACKWARDS [:O][:(!] Nope, don't want that either [;)] I'll stick with other brands thank you very much [^] <br /> <br />
