There is a writeup in the MR April 2002 <br />L. Strang column, on wheelset changeovers.It was very surprising to me, because it identifies potential problems with the lengths of various wheelsets, and how ones that are 'short', cause cars to tip over at a sideways angle, and I've never had this happen.It may be because I've only used the Kadee 33" freight wheels, not the other makes.I have put them on Athearn, MDC, Con-cor, Model Power,Life-like,Tyco,Mehano and Bachmann plastic/Delrin trucks, and on old metal trucks by Athearn, MDC,Varney,Mantua,Pacific Pike, and Silver Streak.For passenger retrofits, I used Kadee 36" on Athearn cars, and Intermountain 36" on Rivarossi. <br />Anyway, there is a website referred to in the article for further info and a reference chart [by one of the makers of wheelsets]: www.reboxx.com <br />regards/Mike R.
