[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by nfmisso Fergie; Get out your calipers, measure the axle length of the wheels you removed, measure the axle length of the new ones...... there is your problem. If you don't have calipers, get some: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=47256 ) (and if you don't have a multimeter: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=30756 ) Kadee's have longer axles than Intermountain, which have longer axles than P2K (by my measurement, your results may vary). NWSL offers three different axle lengths, Reboxx offers dozens. Pennsy: what is the length of the Pennsy axles ?? [/quote] I made that age old mistake, I assumed! I assumed axle lenghts would be all the same, NMRA standards and all. Thanks for the info I will probably look at Pennsy58's suggestion and replace everything with IHC wheels. I had seen these in the catalogue but didn't know if they would be the old style that don't free wheel. The original wheels might as well be glue in place.
