HO, IM's have an excellent reputation are are all metal(heavier)including the axle. Generally insulated 36" sets are used for , in some cases, lighted passenger cars. I see that the ad is for 33"($55.00) which generally are for freight cars. Don't know that application.(Insulated) <br /> <br />But wheel sets come in various axle lengths and the after market distributor,"Reboxx makes 40 different sizes that come in 0.088 tread widths. <br /> <br />The IM's measure 1.013 in axle length, P2K 1,008 and KD 1.018 so correct replacing is not just a drop in conversion. <br />The P2K's are a favorite among modelers but be knowledgeable what your specific trucks require for a good fit. <br /> <br />http://www.trains.com/Content/Dynamic/Articles/000/000/002/197xvpbs.asp <br />http://www.nmra.org/beginner/wheelsets.html <br />
