Is there a magic solution for quartering wheels on knurled axles? By trial and error I have managed to get mine so that it runs smoothly backwards with just a hint of stickiness when running forwards. I suspect this is as close as I am going to get without building a replacement chassis.
Cheers.
NorthWest Short Line sells a quartering tool.

Nice idea, but a little too large for me :-)

In the 70s (and before) Hamblings (I think that was their name) produced a range of loco drivers with knurled axle ends and also produced a cheap quartering jig. Sadly they are long gone.
