I had a little gadget turn up from Mr Masokits a few days ago and I must get around to putting it together...<br /><br />To answer your very legitimate question, yes, the weight of the wagon does affect the springing. All of these are substantially lighter than my usual standard of 25g per axle.<br /><br />Originally I tried the wire supplied in the Bill Bedford kit, and it seemed too rigid. So it was this morning that I swapped it out, easily done in a couple of minutes per axle, for some 11 gauge guitar string. This is the lightest that I have, and it seems much more responsive. No criticism intended of the stuff originally in the kit, as I'm sure that it is the best choice for normally weighted stock.<br /><br />HTH.Flymohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06830364621909116784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482192236285620357.post-25573671932380920952011-01-29T11:15:16.281+00:002011-01-29T11:15:16.281+00:00That looks a good practical demo.

I like the last comment ".....a useful way of checking the reliability of my own track by watching the suspension work as the wagon is pushed along it." I think I'd send a good few moments just enjoying watching the suspension units operate, especially on my track.<br /><br />What about the weight of the wagon, does that not affect the sprung units operation?Ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17673444445860206594noreply@blogger.com
