I have the 37707-4 wheelsets that I haven't used yet.  I see those axles are
also rated at 1.265".  I am glad you warned me.  Could you just put a drop
of epoxy in the axle holes?  I was hoping to use them in Kemtron Arch Bar
trucks.  Wally Collins

Subject: {S-Scale List} NSWL wheelsets in Ace freight trucks

 

I am trying to use NorthWest Short Line brass wheelsets (#37757-4) in Ace
unsprung Bettendorf trucks. The wheelsets are great, but.... the Ace axles
are 1.310 in. long, while the NWSL axles are 1.265 in. long. The NWSL
wheelsets fit, but the shorter length makes them very sloppy. 

The fix that occurs to me is to narrow the trucks, but it is not clear how
to do this. So, would those of you who have overcome this problem tell me
what you did?

Thanks,
