Help wanted: replacement wheelsets


Recommended Posts

Wheels just came from stock so it was inevitable that some wagons would end up with odd wheelsets, just as odd buffers were found. It wasn't all that common. I can only remember noticing one wagon with spoked and 3 hole wheels. The former were, in any case, becoming less common by the late fifties.

 

Tolerances were 2½" for wear and 2½" for loading, allowing a considerable difference in buffer height. I believe US tolerances are similar (2"?)

 

I understand the NMRA standard for axles is 1" for H0. (A set I just measured is 25mm!!). I have found they vary somewhat.
