What did you use to support the metal axles?

The axles are supported between a set of 1x2 plates w door rails.  These
parts are pretty common currently in the MOT engines.

A very fine idea!

I've never built trains with *naked* ( ;-P ) axles,but once i designed such
a bogey (truck) that used the bricks 1x1 modified with headlight

of course the metal axle was inside the hole.
Else,one can use a technic brick witha 1/2 pin inside.

It seemes like there would be a lot of play in the axle this way.

Maybe not so much. I never built it :)

Wouldn't you also have to pop the wheels off the axles?

Yes. But just one.It's not difficult,and it should come back exactly to its
place,since there's a little difference in diameter between the point where
the wheel is and the rest of the axle.

Play well,
