Title: Harry Potter replacement trucks
Post by: scouts on February 02, 2015, 05:41:34 PM
Mr. Bachmann:
Recently purchased a number of Ratio kits. Would rather not use the trucks included as they have plastic wheels. Do the Harry Potter two wheel trucks come with metal wheels? Want to add lighting to these kits.
Thanks

The trucks on the Harry Potter train sets don't have metal wheels since those coaches were made before Bachmann Branchline (of which the toolings for the engine and coaches originated from) even started introducing metal wheels on their BR MK1 coaches (made from the same toolings as the Harry Potter set coaches). If you want metal wheels for the Ratio kits, you could use the wheels from the Bachmann Annie and Clarabel as those should be the correct style wheels.
