    Have you tried fitting the Kean Maygib all-metal wheels available from Stores (plain disc 14.5mm dia, SKU 3TOB)? These come with the option of insulated one side only. This means you will have pick-ups from 4 wheels rather than 8 but for carriage lighting does it matter too much? (If this causes a problem, then if your coaches are in fixed rakes they can be wired together).

    I am curious as this may affect my future purchases of similar Bachmann coaches; I do not have a lathe to replicate your method.

    Thanks
