Hello, could anyone tell me the correct size of wheelsets for a BN 72' centrebeam.... And is there a website that might list all the wheel size's for all the cars, thanks Ian.

Almost all newer prototype equipment use 36" as does the centerbeam. Not all makes will take the 36s though w/o either modifying some underframe or shimming the trucks to gain wheel/ floor clearance. The roundhouse bulkhead flat for one. So far Walther's, Athearn RTR, IM and the older Mckean pain in the a... take the 36s with no problem. Always check the coupler heights after wheelset changes.

Look on discount train websites then you can find the right size for your engine of car.
