Hi there. have adjusted my brake van as per your video. The main problem was plastic section under the wheels on one end which was pushing the axle at an angle. Wagon nows rolls a great deal better and the axle is now straight.. Thanks Caroline
On the other hand, the resistance of sluggish wagons does help with coupling and uncoupling. It looks like the hole for axles is too big, hence the sloppy movement of the axles. I'd feel tempted to try and find a small washer that I could insert into hole to act as a bearing.

Excellent Caroline - thanks for letting me know.

Agreed - the axle cups ought to be really very fine, but alas not in these cases! Thanks for watching
Get ye behind me….. 😂 I’ll not be tempted 😂
Glad to see I'm such a good influence on you... 😁
Bought some HM7000 sound chips. 👍
Great - thanks Lucy. "Sound" investment...!
will try that with my brake van. caroline
Yes, the brake van was definitely the worst of them and benefitted the most.
