RMweb Gold Mikkel Posted April 6, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 6, 2023 I find the Wizard bearings more versatile than the Gibson ones. They also take well to filing the outer ends, which can be a useful (if heretic) workaround sometimes (original on the left, filed down on the right). 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, you've got a 50/50 chance of getting the Gibson ones. Mike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Clanger Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Wizard carriage and wagon bearing codes starting with 4000 are made by Alan Gibson; those starting with BPP are made by Markits. The two are never mixed up. Hope that clears things up. 4 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
