Looking for feed back on the performance of the new 33" & 36" ball bearing wheel sets,(6 sets w/o trucks, enough for 3 cars) that have a MSP of $20.00. IMHO, I thought there wasn't anything better than the Kato ASF ride controls, but thats with a truck and at $5.00 a set per car. Our local hobby shop in Ada Mi would also appreciate your hands on experience reply.
They work very well,but are best suited to dealing with problems not easily resolved with other alternatives(e.g.Tichy ore car arch bars, old Walthers passenger trucks)because they are an extremely expensive solution to the problem. They probably would have utility for large lightly weighted high cubes, and autoracks. However, I don't model anything that new, and weight what I do run. On the other hand, if twenty dollar a pair passenger trucks are the alternative to equipping the plastic trucks that come with a kit w/roller bearing wheel sets they are viable.
