THEY ARE NOT BRITLE ANYMORE THAN THE ORIGINALS. THESE ARE MADE FROM LIONEL'S ORIGINAL SPECIFICATIONS. THESE ARE MADE IN THE USA AT THE SAME PLACE LIONEL MADE THEIR TRANSFORMER ROLLERS AND MOTOR BRUSHES. LIONEL'S SPECIFICATION DRAWINGS ARE STILL THERE USED TO MAKE THESE. HERE'S SOME FACTS ABOUT THESE ROLLERS: SOME ON EBAY TOUT THEIR TRANSFORMER ROLLERS AS EXTRA COPPER OR STATE THEIRS ARE BETTER. IF THEY ARE BETTER WHY DIDN'T LIONEL USE THEM? COPPER HAS BEEN USED IN ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS SINCE EARLY 1800'S. FACT REALLY IS OUR ROLLERS ARE MADE OF THE SAME CARBON GRAPHITE "allotropic form' of carbon" MATERIAL AS LIONEL'S MOTOR BRUSHES. MOTOR BRUSHES ARE IN CONTACT WITH THE COPPER MOTOR ARMATURE COMMUTATOR PLATE SPINING AT HUNDREDS OF RPM. THIS CARBON MATERIAL WAS USED TO HELP DISAPATE HEAT. LIONEL'S EMGINEERS WHERE BRILLIANT IN MOST OF THEIR DESIGNS. I TEND TO THINK THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING. POINT BEING IS WHY NOT BUY THE ORIGINAL DESIGN. COPPER COATED ROLLERS MEANS MOVING METAL AGAINST METAL, OVER YEARS SOMETHINGS GOING TO WEAR DOWN LIKE THE TRANSFORMER WINDINGS?
