Observation on the Pig Wagon.

I think I have seen this on a different recent release of a Plarail rolling stock but can't remember which. The wheel system has changed. Gone is the chassis with a clip that holds the wheel axle. The chassis is one piece and the wheels and axles are made together. What I mean about that is the wheels are affixed to the axle so the whole axle and wheel have to move together. Not sure if this way is for better rolling than the original with the wheels independent of the axle or its just a easier way to make and install them.

One thing that is better with these wheels is that there is no wobble (side to side) like the originals. These new wheels are a tab bit bigger around and a tad bit thinner. Another thing that I am disappointed in is that I was going to swap out the grey wheels with black on these but although the older wheels and axles fit there is more wobble to them with the clearances on this chassis. So unless in the future they make some of these wheels in black instead of grey on some stock I will be out of luck with swapping.

So in conclusion...these do look to make the car more stable I am not sure if they rotate better than the wheels that are separate from the axles.
