Peco Replacement Wheels

[Bob S]

Hesitant to start a whole new topic for a single question, but in Southern California, info on OO9 is essentially nonexistent.

 

Does any company make replacement metal wheelsets for Peco’s short wagons?  Stock plastic ones seem a bit grabby, something I’ve noticed in other gauges.  Just curious.

 

By the way, I was just told that Hattons won’t be selling Bachmann narrow gauge products.  Anybody know why?  Again, I’m in an info vacuum.

As it happens there is news in the current Modeller about Peco introducing metal tyred wheels to their 009 and N range soon, hopefully you will be able to obtain them as spares.

Farish wagon and coach wheels are a direct replacement for the Peco ones.

As for Hatton's, see here.

Thank you Nile for both bits of information.  I’d thought the Bachmann issue was new, but apparently everyone knew!  Call me mushroom man, in the dark!

 

As for the wheels, your news is great.  I do like the sound of “iron on iron”.
