In O you have to be careful because different mfrs trucks use different axle lengths. So I recommend that before you buy hundreds of axles that you test the candidate axles on a few cars. Hopefully all cars have the same trucks. -- Rod Miller Handcraftsman === Custom 2-rail O Scale Models: Drives, Repairs, Steam Loco Building, More http://www.rodmiller.com

Has anyone tried a kit from model tech studios?
Just purchased a soda fountain kit with no instructions. Do I treat it as a resin or plastic for painting? Thanks in advance. RonS

wheels in BULK. My club for many years ordered wholesale quantities of cars and parts from vendors at wholesale prices, so club members got deep discounts. I'm sure we're not unique.

Re: Gondolas converted into TOFC cars
Dale There are TWO cars in the 93600 to 93649 series in the 1959 ORER. But there is no "asterisk" or other indication that this is a new entry in the ORER, so they could be earlier than 1959. By 1963 there are 13 50-2-IL cars listed, 93550 to 93599 (11 cars) and 93600 and 93601 (2 cars). I have no photos of the 93550 or 93600 series, so they may be rebuilds of older cars like the 50 ft composite gondolas of the 1930's. The 93700 series is not listed in 1959. By 1963 there were 234 cars in series 93702 to 93936. Cars 93700 and 93701 were 70 ton capacity TOFC flats but otherwise are the same as the others. Tim O'Connor

I purchase Intermountain wheels in 100 packs. Since you are replacing them all, decide now whether you want scale width or traditional width.

Re: Metal Wheels
Benny I’m in HO with about 450 cars on the layout. I have settled on the Intermountain metal wheel sets as my standard. They come with metal axles with needle point ends. While many use Kadee, I have replaced all my Kadee wheelsets because they have plastic axles and don’t roll near as nice as the Intermountains. The same with the PK2 from Lifelike/Walthers. Many also like the Rebox wheelsets because of the multiple choices in axle length, which had the metal axle with needle point ends, but they appear to no longer be available.
As for price: you can get the Intermountain in bulk packs containing a 100 wheelsets. Retail is $99, but I often find them for $79-$84 at train shows. Yes a chunk of money when changing out a whole fleet. But if the end it has been worth it.
