Hi Spitfire,

 

You could say that the bearings are part of the axle and that the holes in the w-iron are opened to fit the axles. I don't know what this type of axle is called in English. I would have prefered the traditional system since it's a little trickier (for me, at least) to get the wheel to roll freely and evenly, but the narrow w-Irons save space.

 

Regards,

 

Stefan

Hi Stefan,

Hope all is well with you, I've just picked this post up and thoroughly enjoyable as usual.

Can you advise upon the manufacturer of these wheels show in the post please.

 

Kind regards

Hi Stefan,

 

Thank you for the quick reply, I have some HO coaches (early Bavarian) with Marklin axles which I would like to swop for standard insulated type and the axles are the required type looking at your photograph. I need to track some down.

 

Kind regards

 

Grahame
