I am in the process of converting all plastic wheelsets in my rolling stock to Metal For example my 45 or so Boxcars (athearn) will recieve P2k wheels and in some cases trucks. The rolling resistance is reduced very greatly and the track does not get so dirty. You also remove the "wobble" from having bad plastic wheels on your cars as well. I think most of the cars in HO will accept various metal wheelsets without too much trouble. However specific wheels may have axles in different lengths and it may be necessary to "ream" out trucks to get them to spin freely. <br /> <br />plastic is dead, long live metal.
