RE: O scale, I know about the Atlas, not bad at all. I was wondering if there were some small company out there making something really nice for standard O. I have few cars, some very vintage from the 50s, and some Atlas current manufacture. <br /> <br /> In my On3 experience, every wheelset I have ever seen has been a metal tire or complete wheel, and passible axel bearing,usually plastic. Sometimes, its a metal axel and the metal wheel is mointed with an insulator. However 'fair' the bearings may be, some better some worse, compared to the advantage of the nice metal rims, it dosen't really matter how free rolling they are because we pull trains of 2 [passenger] to 5 [freight] cars. Hardly a load at all.
