Hi. I have a Non-Powered 2 Car MTH MTA Lo-V Set which for some reason seems very poor in terms of rolling freely. Both cars are the same. I have oiled all axles. They seem to turn freely, but only spin for a second or so. Not as free a other MTH stuff that I have. I have checked and the flanges seem to be clear of the rails. The cars also seem not to roll freely even on a flat surface, e.g. off the track. I just wanted to ask if anyone has the same set do they have similar problems?

All the subs are the same way. A little oil helps but its more from design oversite issues. Your Lo V body is true "O" scale which is smaller than the oversized R.K.s but it still contains the oversized clown shoes like the others. In a rush to market, things were discovered later on. Once the molds were made, there was no re-do.
