Very true! Unless you insulate the axle or use one metal and one plastic wheel per axle. You'd need two axles for pickup if you go the later route. Thanks for getting the regular wheel up.

I would like steel wheels to replace the standard plastic wheel with the metal axle. I suppose these could be used for power pickup as well on 9v track. I would like the technic wheel for some drive wheels with power pick up. The derailment issue with the small flanged wheel is unfortunate. http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=55423c01&colorID=5&in=A From the Toy Story train

These are cool. Kinda remind me of battle star galactica. Fixing the grey/bley issue will help, but otherwise great work! The sabre needs some weapons or maybe more orange bricks on the "hood"

Love the colors on this. It would take a major redesign but a technic pin under the bogies might give you the half plate height to even things out with the motor. But it looks great even with the height difference.

Any update on this project? I had the same idea to have these cast in brass but I would need a mock up to cast that is 4% bigger to compensate for the shrinkage when casting. Getting the mockup 3D printed would be ideal, just need a file where the model's dimensions are enlarged 4%

Legoman666 - I went to your shape ways shop and the standard size steel wheels and steam wheels are not for sale currently. I'm interested in the standard size wheel. Any update on this? And are there any versions of the wheel without the technic axle (the one with round hole for the metal axle?)

This is amazing. My favorite part is the opening eyes. How about a motion sensor so they open when someone walks by?

Too funny! Great idea!

Fantastic work. I like the custom additions of the lighting and logo stickers. The colors are a good combo, I understand out of necessity, but really look good.

Congrats. Great figs!

Interesting project. How does the UV printing hold up over time?
