sheesh... I want metal wheels... that's for keeping the rails and loco wheels free of gunk.... <br /> <br />I want the metal wheels to have ball bearings between the axle and the wheels, that's for better rolling resistance, especially on curved track. <br /> <br />So, no plastic lgb wheels, no ball bearings in the journals. <br /> <br />So far, the San-Val wheelsets look interesting, $10 for 2 wheelsets, or one truck's worth. Half the price of the Aristo, and much cheaper than Gary Raymond. <br /> <br />Anyone else find any other sources of metal wheels with bearings (as described above in this post) <br /> <br />A wheelset is usually a set of 2 wheels and an axle... like the piece you get on a real railroad. <br /> <br />I have never had anyone use the description "truck set", but many sites say "xxx, enough for one truck", since the definition seems to vary, you have to get it explicitly stated just what "set" means. <br /> <br />Greg
