Some of the rolling stock I got off eBay is the old Tri-ang wheel
profile, and does not of course work well with the Hornby setrack
profile.
I got some replacement metal wheels for rolling stock, and have managed to update one or two carriages to the newer profile, as well as simply upgrading some from plastic to metal.
Some are old enough to have the split axle with the centre pins. Is it possible to convert these to later profile too? I had been thinking of possibly making some inserts for the bogies, so I could then use the newer wheels.
Trouble is the stock is in pretty good condition, and as I got them cheap enough, could be worth a bit of effort.
