After testing many different company's wheels several years ago I've had the best luck with Atlas. They roll better then other manufacters wheels ,plus there are'nt any crooked wheels or axels. I use 33'' caboose wheels and 36'' 100 ton wheels that I bought in packs of 100. Atlas caboose wheels axles and the 100 ton axles are the same length so they fit any truck frame. The 33" freight car wheels Atlas has, have shorter axles so they won't fit right. To check rolling qualty I have a special car that I use.In my layout I have a low spot in the track .It's about 3 ft. long and 1/2 inch lower. I let the car go on the down hill side,With Atlas wheels it rolles into the dip and sometimes all the way through.Other manufactor wheels will not make it all the way across.
