They look gorgeous!

What's that scraping sound as the train leaves?

Over on RMWeb some people have reported (of the Heljan base models) that some brake shoes aren’t fully clear of the wheels, making the wagons a bit stiff. Might be worth checking if they don’t roll as freely as you would like.

The two wagons at the end need a check over. I would imagine it is the reported problem with the UK Heljan release

Found it HERE, thanks!

They also mention the couplers being stiff and a little higher, but that probably only affects those doing lots of shunting.

Just a short video for anyone concerned about the noise in the previous video. Some very light lubrication using Kadee Coupler dry graphite power done the trick. A really soft pencil would do the same job.
