These Dapol produced metal wagon wheels are ideal to upgrade older wagons or to substitute in the former Airfix series of wagon kits such as the cattle wagon. They also fit well in kit chassis. I have used mine in a Peco/Parkside wagon chassis kit. I also fitted brass ‘top hat’ bearings into the plastic axleboxes to aid free wheeling. The wheels spin nicely and look good. You could paint the wheels black but it isn’t really necessary. I can recommend these wheels wholeheartedly. Great value.

I have used Dapol spoked and disk wagon wheels to replace Hornby and Bachmann wagon wheels in older wagons. Dapol axles have a finer point than other manufacturers, but the axle is exactly the same length. This reduces friction in the bearing and leads to smoother running with lower friction, so you can pull longer trains.

This is the second pack of these wheels I have purchased to use as an upgrade in kits and to upgrade some RTR stock. Nice spoke casting. Back to back dimension is good straight out of the box.
