As mentioned in my last entry I have been thinking of how the conversion of Tri-ang Locomotive wheels to Markits type could go ahead.
I have taken a look at some topics on here that share info on the conversion but often left puzzled by not knowing exactly what items were used. So it was really down to instinct, trial and error and this is how, using what information I could find, the process of converting a simple Tri-ang model, say a Jinty for example, could go about.

First, I remove the side rods from the model before removing the wheels using a wheel puller. I change the axles of the Tri-ang model to the RMA165HK & RMA165HP axles. Then put fibre washers on the outside of the axles so the wheels don't short against the chassis. I also read that bearings could also be used but wasn't sure.
​Then attach the wheels to the axles and quartering them accordingly before fixing them in place using the screws on the axles. Then finally screw the Tri-ang side rods to the wheels.

So that's roughly how I think the process goes but if there is something I've missed out please be sure to inform me. This is a method that I, and I'm sure many other modellers here would like to learn so that their Tri-ang models can still be used on modern track.
