Wheel Sets For European Passenger Cars (Lima etc)
Posted by jeromeandwestern on Sunday, February 15, 2015 2:47 PM

Hi Everyone, I just thought I'd throw this out there. If you collect alot of stuff from across the big pond like I do you've probably gone bonkers trying to find replacment wheels for coaches. Good news!!! No more using a dremal tool to file down those nasty flanges. There is a company in Germany called Modellbahnmarkt24 that has rp25 wheels for everything old Lima and Liliput included. Prices are not bad either if you buy in bulk, .92 euros per set. I have tried them and they are very well made. Smile Wayne

Better in the Model Railroader forum.  The brands mentioned are scale models.

Unless you purchase 1000 pieces, it is 1.19 Euro per piece (axle with two wheels, various diameters) for1-99.   Looks very useful.. Thanks.

You're right I just went back and looked. I ordered 100 yesterday at .92 euros now they are 1.09 for 100.Crying Still a good deal Roco gets 5.79 euros for two. Wayne
