Axle experiment
Working out more substantial driven axles with good suspension for two axle battery powered loco, or tram... So experimenting with 15mm bore spherical/self aligning bearing in a modified, adjustable pillow block. and with a 30mm OD coil spring. Horn slot on the bearing housing is 12mm and 75mm wide. Here is before and after on an un-wheeled axle.
