***: you'll get other answers dealing with wheelset size and make [ I use Kadee, but lots of folks don't ]...but you also asked what's the best way to measure the wheels you have. <br />I recommend a vernier caliper, preferably a dial-type.There are even plastic ones now. You will find that you will use this tool for many, many other tasks in modelling.Also, you should have a scale rule for model railroading, another invaluable tool you will use a lot. <br />P.S.:..your HO 33" wheel will measure .379" and the 36" wheel will measure .414"..take the wheelset out of the truck frame, and this is actually quite easy to check with an ordinary ruler [about 3/8" vs. nearly 7/16"], but the caliper makes it easier. <br />regards / Mike <br />regards / Mike
