accucraft metal G scale wheels

Has anyone had any experience with their wheels, Thanks Bill

I have them on many pieces of Accucraft/AMS rolling stock.They basically have two types of wheels, one with ball bearings and ones without. They will not fit Bachmann, Aristo, USA Trains, unless you drill out the journal to accept them, or mill down the axle ends.The standard wheelsets are nicely done and are correct size for 1:20.3 scale narrow gauge freight cars.

If you wish to replace wheelsets from those manufacturers, it's much easier to use the wheelsets from Sierra Valley, Gary Raymond, or the Train Department, since they are available to retrofit most rolling stock other than Accucraft/AMS. Some places like the Train Department have wheels that can be used with Accucraft/AMS.
