[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by mondotrains To answer your question, I just spoke to a fellow at Intermountain and he said they make the wheels for Reboxx. Reboxx, as you probably know, then takes those wheels and attaches them to various axle lengths. I think Reboxx must have about 37 different axle lengths and using the chart they provide, you can buy the precise wheelset you need for just about any manufacturer's car. For example, their chart specifies that for an Athearn passenger car, you need a 36" wheelset in a 1.035 length axle, which they have.

[/quote] [/quote] It's interesting to note that the Reboxx application chart scores the stock IM 33"with Andrews truck at 22 roll test and Reboxx's replacement scores 24 roll test. IM 33" in a Bettendorf truck scores 18 on the roll test and the Reboxx replacement scores 22. Out of the box the stock Atlas Caboose, Bettendorf, & Roller bearing scores lower 20s and the Kato truck 23. The IM 36" was not yet announced. Other manufacturers stock out of the box scores in the teens. Reboxx uses a roller coaster(a ramp in the shape of a Circular arc) $40.00 manual device that they use to count the number of times the wheel set is able to climb/descend(repeat)
