Re: Axle tuner?

Bob Werre All Messages By This Member #176254 Jim, Over the years of using and at least, trying most trucks on the market, I've come across molded plastic trucks that can let the axle ride up on the side of the axle hole.? Seems like some? might be SSA's original and the PRS's last version.? I've got a couple of cars that just like to ride with a slant.? I'll straighten the car but eventually they'll get back to a lean--not derailing but a decided lean. Bob Werre PhotoTraxx toggle quoted message Show quoted text When I have trucks designed for pointed axles, I deepen/clean the axle holes with the MicroMart HO one. You just have to work on one side at a time, since the tool is too short (being designed for HO standard gauge). On the positive side - if you're careful - you can make the holes exactly the right depth so that the axles turn freely but without "slop" regardless of whether or not the truck width is completely uniform or if there has been shrinkage or other minor manufacturing irregularities. The angle of the cone-shaped blade is fine. As long as "bajadezert" has designed starting holes that are accurately placed, this approach should work fine. Perhaps with the increasing use of 3D printing technology for trucks, an "axle tuner" should be produced for S scale. Jim Whipple Pittsburgh PA
