Hi all,
Everything is said about this bad wheel molds, I hope (and EXPECT) Lego
will make new molds in short time!!
More interesting: HOW DO WE GET OUR WHEELS TO WORK PROPERLY??? ....
without to much work. :-)
Please check out the pics I uploaded, AND TRY THE TRICK YOURSELF.
I've tested the tricked wheels with a look-a-like complete Santa Fe
(A+B+5 cars+A). One motor is enough to run the whole train + more. So,
my wheels run fine now. Durability?? I don't know yet.
EVERYBODY:
Please do a lot of heavy duty testing!! AND POST YOUR RESULTS!
Earlier today I send Ben Beneke my solution, I hope he also can make
some time to do testing.
I still have to sort out a few thousand of Pirates-pieces, no more
train-playing for me these days! :-)

HAPPY CUTTING TO YOU ALL !

PS, IMPORTANT...
Yoy CAN finish the modification after inserting (snapping) the first
bush-cutoff.
The wheels run fine than, but when you run your train at high speed the
wagons tilt a bit too much.
Especially when points are run at high speed the wagons shake
considerable. Looks funny though....
With the extra 2 bush-cuttoffs inserted everything runs like in the old
days (= good black wheels...)
