Reply to "Menards Rolling Stock - How to spread wheels? Axle not spinning freely."

For my menards cars when the wheels don’t spin freely, i take the axel out and sand down the points.  They are just too long sometimes, works every time for me.  Just sand off the points.

Tony,

I removed all the trucks on all six tanker cars and lightly hit the axle points with the Dremel tool and my problem was solved. They all roll free just as good as other brands I own. The wheel spacing was off some but I left that alone. I ran the cars several times around the layout with no derailments.
