I like it. :) Good job on these brakes. Brakes with tubing are usually rather smooth. :)

i tried them out on my christmas coaster.they work great and they look great. its just the very corner of the bottom wheel scraped the corner of the orange peace and made a pretty loud clicking noise. and after a while they started leaving marks on my train cars. i prefer not to use them but until i find something quieter im going to use these.

^are you a noob, or not? by your post count, it looks like it, but you joined in march...

anyways, that being said, please dont bump threads that are a month old. if you dont already know, bumping is not liked in these forums, unless you are the thread poster or it is important.
