Certainly don't mind you posting new products (especially if it means we find out before anyone else ), could you just post them in New Models and Reviews please. Anyway, new tank wagon looks good, I can imagine people having fun being let loose with real rust and other weathering materials
"What the hell is that?"
"It's a model icebreaker sir."
"It's a bit big isn't it?"
"It's a full scale model sir....."

Some weeks ago I ordered some Swift Sixteen kits. I admire the tricky kind of building the body - it consists of only three parts. Look at my first try to paint it.
But I don't like the funktion of the axle bearings. Please note, my criticism is not related to the appearance of the axle box dummies, but on the technical function of it, the slide friction is too high. Has anyone another experience?
As an improvement, I'm going to construct new ball-bearing axle boxes between the dummies - the material will be lasercut acrylic.
For sure I will order some cars more, because they are easy to build, looks great and costs little money.
Regards
Michael

Hi Rob,
no doubt, your axle box design is deliberate and easy to build. But nevertheless I'll try to improve their performance.
Today your cars made the first run from "Sukna to sleepy Hollow". It seems that the crew is satisfied with the tanker, dawdling in the evening sun.
Have a nice Sunday
