Don't forget Australia is as big as mainland USA and it is the 6 th biggest country in the world, so it goes from 2000 ks across open ocean to Antarctica and up equatrorial up near Papua New Guinea. <br /> <br /> At Kuber Pedy (I'm sure I spelt it wrong) it gets up to 52 Celsius degrees every day for about 3 months of the year, so much so that the town is almost entirely underground, it is the world capital of Opal mining. <br /> <br />However here on the Sunshine Coast with nearly the best climate in the world, we only get up to about 35 to 40 deg C but we get it every day for 5 months of the year and it never gets below 20 degrees C. We are only 26 degrees from the equator and the only part of the USA in that league is Hawaii. <br /> <br />Getting back to metal wheels i am amazed at just how freely rolling stock run with LGB ball bearing metal wheels, they roll so much and so easily they can be a nuisance. <br /> <br /> <br />Rgds Ian
