Bachmann V Hornby Wagon Wheels

Mar 04, 2010 1 Replies

Can anyone tell me if there is any difference in the coarseness of the Bachmann or Hornby wagon wheels? I have new Hornby ones and I think they are a bit too finescale for some of my points. Despite checking the b2b's of the Hornby wheels, I often seem to find them derailing on my Peco code 100 points. The earlier coarser Hornby/Mainline/Airfix wheels don't have a problem.


Shouldnt be any problem. Couple of things though...are the wheels clean especially against flanges (check with point of blade - gently). Always worth adding bit of wieght underneath - of course you can test by putting some in. If you roll them through on their own do they still have a problem. Where abouts are they in the rake - does it make any difference if change the order ?

cheers, Simon
