Myself and many others that have brass passenger cars that don't roll very good
with factory trucks can be cured quite easily. InterMountain Railway makes 36"
roller bearing wheels sets that you can use to replace the factory wheels. With
these, it doesn't matter if the axle turns or not, it's the wheels themselves
that turn and you will notice a very big difference. John

Subject: [CBQ] Branchline Heavyweight Single Window Coach
Just received a pair of Branchline's new ready-to-run coaches in CB&Q
(6100 series numbering). OK, I know they aren't perfect matches to the
Q coaches (window count being one of the most obvious differences), but
since the brass ones may never materialize and the cost difference is
major, these Branchline cars fall firmly in the category of "close
enough." Beautifully detailed, with interiors. And ready to run. Note -
I have no affiliation with Branchline - just offering my own opinion.
It would be great if Branchline would do these in the commuter colors.
Probably not likely, but I can dream. And boy, would they be a lighter
pull than my brass gallery cars - woo, hoo, do those put my Life-Like
E's through a work out.
