The biggest problem I have had with the plastic wheels was not with the wheels. I had a model railroad in the garage and the dampness even in our dry climate in So Cal resulted in the axles of MDC and Athearn cars all rusting. Start getting rust on steel axles at the point that serves as a bearing and it doesn't matter what you do with the "tool", they start rolling bad!
