3-hole disc wheels for OO Heljan Dogfish

[llamafish]

For some reason, despite having them for years, I've only just realised that the wheels fitted to Heljan's OO Dogfish wagons are of the incorrect type for the wagon. As a result, I'm after 8 3-hole disc wheels that would fit. Bachmann and Hornby wheels are not suitable as the spindles are just a shade too long/thick, so when fitted, the wheels don't rotate very well. 

The diameter for the fitted as standard looks to be around 13mm, including flange. I would prefer metal wheels but would consider plastic (or part plastic) if they fit. 

I would also prefer a swap deal if possible, as I have plenty of spare wheels of various types and sizes (and obviously 8 from Dogfish), including 20 Dapol JNA wagon wheels, all unused. I would however consider buying them outright if they're suitable.

 

I think the Heljan four-wheel tank wagons have the correct style, although I don't know the size of the wheels or the spindles fitted to these.

 

Please contact me if you have anything suitable (even if just one or one pair)

 

Thanks!

Get yourself one of these and then you can use 26mm pinpoint axles.

Brilliant, thanks for the suggestion Mike. I ordered one of those, and although it's time consuming, it definitely makes a difference!

Have you looked at the Gibson wheels range?
