I contacted Lego Direct and presented the problem to them stating that there was significant drag on the gray wheel sets. In the course of the discussion the lady (name escapes me) who is the customer service rep for trains was not aware of this (...) (22 years ago, 22-Feb-03, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) My modest LEGO train collection consists of one MOT kit, one Santa Fe Kit (full train, not starter), and one Metroliner kit. These are all sets with the "new" wheelsets.

(...) It does look brilliant. A dark red version may be asking a lot, but if I could just drop my own hint... I hope they make an extra lot of those 1x4x5 windows in WHITE, and make them into a service pack. I'm afraid the black ones just aren't as (...)
