Low flange wheels for Arnold Rapido

Mar 05, 2008 3 Replies

Hi all



Can anyone tell me which wheels I need for Arnold Rapido Heavyweight Passenger Cars, to run on Atlas Code 55 N-scale. I have some Atlas plastic low flange wheels but they are just slightly to narrow for the trucks so they come out . Another question: should I get plastic or steel low flange wheels for my other conversions, is there a big disadvantage to either?

Check out eBay seller benno002 he sells replacement wheels for all the european model brands. He sells the lower profile wheels. I haven't actually used any of his wheels but they look like they are good quality. I like metal wheels. They seem to stay cleaner longer than plastic and they provide extra weight to the cars. Others I'm sure will have different opinions.

On Usenet? Go on! You're joking, right?

Ha! Ha! Hey, since things flared up on that other thread maybe they will all be too busy bickering there to disagree with my recommendation here. :-)

It was a silly statement, I admit it. Kind of like "I recommend such and such business. I have no ties to it except for being a satisfied customer". Duh! We seem to be conditioned to place disclaimers everywhere. It is not my fault, honest! :-)
