thanks for bringing this topic back into discussion. The plastic trains are
now out for a while and I wonder if anyone has won experience on long term
use (I am talking about several hours or some days) of the new wheel sets
especially under 7 or 8-wide MOC trains.
My concerns about the new wheel sets can be red here:

I would appreciate to get feedback on this. Thanks in advance!

Ben,
I ran a test ofthe old wheel set verse the new wheeel set. I built a simple box
car and loaded it with eight train weights. It had one truck made of ald wheel
sets and one truck made of new wheel sets. I put it on a train in our museum
layout that ran the trains seven days a week for five hours a day. After one
week I compared the two trucks and could not find any difference between them
wear wise or friction wise. Not very scientific, but I am not worried about the
new wheel sets after this test.
