      How do like these cars for running?

      Hey wait a minutes.. You sneaky fellow. That's no model! :p

      Excellent work!

      Sorry for the lag-time in responding:
      LADiver, the trucks and wheels remind me of the type installed on Atlas/Athern cars and as such could be better. I swapped out a lot of my Atlas wheels with FVM brass wheels, but these wouldn't fit on the ExactRail trucks. The detail of the cars is the best thing about them--if I can find brass wheels that fit, I'll probably swap them out.

      Mystere: Too kind!

      Here's a portion of what the folks at ExactRail were kind enough to provide:

      FVM:
      33" FVM 3301 - .540" axle
      36' FVM 3601 - .540 axle

      Very nicely done. I love the detail on these cars--your weathering is well-done.

      Thanks much-
      I like them too, but they don't run as well as they could on my Atlas Code 55 track. I ordered some of the FVM wheels. We'll see it that doesn't help some.
