LEGO 2x 2878c02 Train complete axle +wheel | Black

Product Information

The interesting bit is that the plastic axles on R40 reduce the time by almost half compared to metal (and that is with much about 1/3 of the track being straight) whereas the metal only save maybe 10% on straight compared to plastic. This is because the two wheels turn the same speed (same rotation speed), but they need to run different distance on a curve (the outer longer, the inner shorter), so the outer wheel will be dragged or the inner slipped. They'll never run out of pieces thanks to products like the LEGO Train Base 6 x 24 Black, or the LEGO Train Coupling Buffer Beam With Sealed Magnets. In your experiment, you used straight track and gravity to accelarate - since metal axles have less friction and mechanic resistance at all and there is no curve resistance, they will perform better.

Which is not bad at all: In 20+ years, these "axles" will be dead cheap on BL, should BL still exist.

A speciality is the large train wheel from this era with 29 mm diameter (today this equals the "medium" size of BBB wheels). Make the cars heavy enough to prevent stringlining and the magnetic couplers will pull apart, strengthen the coupling and you go back to strignlining. My first attempt with suitable ball bearings was good for heavy cars, but light cars ran significantly better with the orignal LEGO train axle than with my ball bearing solution, and so I had to find a better solution.
