Looks pretty good to me

Congrats on being able to make your own. I've always been surprised by how much a set of those things cost, even the "cheap" Bachmann ones. I thought about trying to make my own once, but a cursory search for bearings online showed me where the major cost is involved. I guess bearings are more expensive than one might think.

It depends on what quality of bearing you get.  Good bearings cost a lot but also function phenomenally well.

We may not need that level of performance though...

Nice work. You obviously have machining skills and some very good tools. Very nice.

Bearings

Here's a place I buy my bearings for use in my drive line for model engines.

There are many other pages of bearings. The above link takes you to the smaller ones.

They look just like my Bachmann units less the logo.

But it is always better to make than buy.

Nice work.
