Continuing the theme...
Continuing the theme of metal wheels, I show photos. I collected one of their cars from the manufacturer models ACCURAIL kit 'PENN CENTRAIL'. I already wrote here - my choice today is a semi-scale INTERMOUNTAIN.
Most of all, I want to show how I painted these wheels
By the way! I mean what else is important to be the time that you need to consider as sitting wheelset (cone bearing) in the truck. And how are they spinning. After smooth movement depends on a combination of these things.
After all, if strongly chiseled inner bearing on the truck, the wheel pair will "float". And then there will be more than the rolling of the body of the car in motion. Particularly at curves.

Hey guys!
I want to re-write in this thread about metal wheels.
I did not have time to deal with models. I just looked at them all the time ...
But some time ago I was able to return to these wheels.
And so - what better wheels? Which manufacturer makes them right for our model railroad.
I will say this - every model its wheels!
I've been using in their models, and all of the producers who advised you and I used.
All-wheel drive before installing on the truck, I gave them a kind of colored - rusty, repairing, or just with the plant species.
I worked airbrush. Used a mixture of different colors. I paid a tone crayons...

and some more photos!
I installed and used - Kadee, Proto 2000, Intermountain.
Of course the semi-scale looks better
There is of course and driving quality, but it depends on how you pierce cone bearings in trucks.
I'm carts Inst device from REBOXX.

Rustam I have used metal wheels of Kadee, Proto 2000, and Intermountain. All roll well if as you say the axle points turn free in the trucks without being too loose and make the freight cars rock and shake. Kadee are black and often I do not paint them. Proto and Intermountain I always paint and weather them because of the bright silver plating on them. Your wheels look good.
