Wagon Wheels
These are very realistic and great replacements for the toy like originals. I have fitted some of these to really old wagons with the crude open ended axle boxes and with the fitting of tapered brass bearings the results have been excellent. Newer models with closed axle boxes accept them easily. These are the spoked type so would normally be fitted to goods wagons. I have fitted the three hole disc type to my passenger coaches and the results are equally as good. These wheel sets with their pin point axles are very low friction allowing my locos to haul full length trains with ease. An easy way to prove how good they are is to spin the wheels with your finger- they go for ages whereas the same with the old wheels barely give a few turns.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Hornby 00 Spoked Wheels
These wheels are the most cost effective wheels for 00. I have re-wheeled a large amount of old wagons and I found that these are the best replacements for spoked wheels. They are easy to re-fit and as long as they have point bearings, they require no alteration. I also found that they can be used in conjunction with pin point insert bearings. These were certainly good value as the cost keeps increasing due to raw material costs and the weakness of the pound. I keep a stock of them for further replacements or for model kits.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

a great gift for the railway modeler
these wheels are fantastic you can get them to fit almost anything that you want but I am finding them harder and harder to get hold of them,they did a version with the straight axles but they are now almost impossible to find,i did get one lot from a shop in malta a couple of years ago but have seen none since,i now have about 50 pairs in my spares box,i have been at this since I was 12 years old that was 66 years ago and have just got two locos left to finish and that will be the end.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Essential - to replace plastic, muck gathering equivalents.
Expensive for what they are - but fit Dapol, Mainline and Airfix wagons too - so probably on balance, just worth it...Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

well worth the cost and time
These wheels and axles greatly improve the looks and rolling of any old models that could have had spoked wheels. Some brands will require some re-work of the bearing cone or car bearing, but it is worth the time.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
