Jon Gwinnett Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I have two of the Walthers model of the Trinity Cement cars, similar to this one: Now I always thought 100T cars had 36" wheels (something to do with journal sizes?) However, one Walthers car came with 33" wheels, the other with 36" wheels. Which is correct? (As an aside, the one on 33" wheels is the correct ride height for the Kadees, the 36" wheels are a tad too high) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glorious NSE Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 36" - Walthers used to put 33" wheels in the kit and early RTR versions of just about everything - when they went over to metal wheels they started doing a bit better thankfully. 33" for 70t / 36" for 100t is still a very good rule of thumb.

Thanks Martyn. I rather thought the big wheels were right. That being so, the couplers are marginally over height - don't think its enough to cause problems but I might need to file down the top of the truck bolsters to lower them a bit.
