Hi all!
This is in fact a nice idea!
But I have one comment to make: this solution is causing friction between brass
tube and metal axle, while the original solution is "rubbing" only on the very
tip of the metal axle. The higher the diameter of the friction zone, the higher
the torque to overcome.
For light weight waggons this solution will end up in a (somewhat) higher
running resistance (maybe not to mention if you put a miligramm of grease in
between).
For heavier waggons this would be a perfect and reliable solution! Excellent
idea and thanks for sharing it!
Leg Godt!
Ben
