RMweb Gold Right Away Posted December 31, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) There is much useful information on the forum regarding track standards and recommended wheel back to back measurements. I use Code 75 flat bottom rail with a ruling minimum radius of 45" and a few vehicles have a B2B that could do with widening. Would any member know if there is a proprietary tool with the capability of fine adjustment by pulling/pushing the wheels on their axles? Thank you in advance and a HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone.

Does the Ebay gear puller have any advantages over the GW one (apart from the price)? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it allows a larger wheel to go in the frame, the GW version maxes out at 13mm wagon wheels, the Ebay version will take 16mm easily and I reckon 20mm is a possibility.
