How refreshing, to see axles with journals at the ends, rather than pinpoints - well done!

Yes, although those journals look to be rather short... something like 4" x 4" rather than (typical) 8" x 4" ..... or are roller bearing axle journals shorter than those for oil boxes.

Thanks as that was my intention...

Remember, this 4mm. Using Exactoscale wheels and bearings seemed the most sensible,effective way to do this.
I may be a picky so and so but in this case, if it looks right...
These loaded wagons make their exhibition debut on Mostyn at York, in a couple of weeks time. I think that is when, I can judge how effective the wheels as a load are.
