Hi all,
I have a five Rail King 0-27 streamlined passenger cars in a nice matching set. They all have one electrical pickup on every truck. There seems to be quite a lot of friction either in the axle bearings or the pickup rollers. All of my locomotives have difficulty moving the five-car consist. I know it's not just a matter of the lighting on the cars draining voltage, because I can haul a good number of freight cars while still having the passenger cars be stationary with the lights on. I was hoping to get advice on ways to decrease the friction. I was thinking of applying some kind of lubricant to the axle bearings.
Thanks!
Dan
