I'm not sure on the spine cars, but I think they use a 28" wheel. On the Maxi-III cars in 5 unit sets, they use 33" wheels on the ends and 36" in the middle. I don't know for certain, but I think the individual Maxi-III units probably use a 33" wheel also.

Good Luck, Morpar

The Maxi III have 33" wheels on the ends of the cars and 38" wheels on the intermediate trucks.  Single Maxi III well cars have 33" wheels.  Most 5 unit articulated Spine cars have 33" wheels, earlier ones used 28" wheels.  Some 3 unit articulated spine cars have 36" wheels as well.
