Nice wagons with well respected scale. Multiple metal inserts: handles, photoetched steps, transmission rods, or plastic: e. g. door locks. The ice containers’ access ladders, made of plastic, are quite thin.
The axles rotate in brass bearings. On one of the models, an axle rotates badly. It seems that the axle holder is a little narrower than the other. The wheels are not burnished. One of the pivoting axle holders was askew because one of the return “springs” had jumped over its stop.
Once again, I note the irrelevance, if not the harmfulness, of pivoting axle holders, which don’t pivot unless their rotation is linked to the drawbar movement, as Roco did on their Ibbehs.
