From SW Michigan. Be extremly cautious because of the variables and varieties involed. There are 28",33"36" & 38" http://www.trains.com/Content/Dynamic/Articles/000/000/002/197xvpbs.asp http://www.nmra.org/beginner/wheelsets.html CAUTION: Not all aftermarket replacement sets have the same axle LENGTH. www.reboxx.com is a big player in this market and sells wheel sets in multiple lengths since manufacturer stock wheels vary from model car manufacturer to car manufacturer. Reboxx sets are all 0.088 wide versus more common 0.110. Other suppliers are below plus a few more in the Walthers' reference book. The following axle measurements have been furnished by Master Modeler Nigel. P2K-1.008, Intermountain - 1.013, Kadee 1.018 and there's more. Another consideration when upgrading is to use the truck tuner. www.micromark.com item# 82838, just type it in the item box, then click on the description. Bottom Line: Greater free rolling ability=longer trains and cleaner track and when cleaning track try out MAAS, a 2 ounce metal paste cleaner/polisher. Also , automotive polishing compound as a substitute. Happy railroading.
