Title: G scale wheels
Post by: botangles on June 06, 2011, 09:18:43 AM
I have a few Bachmann G scale cars ( not the spectrum ) and need replacement wheels for some. Bachmann makes metal wheel sets in "small " or "standard". Which ones would I need for a 4 wheel bobber caboose and a 8 wheel  boxcar? Would like to order the right ones the first time. Thanks.

Get the 31mm wheels.

You didn't really answer the question properly :-\ Which of the 2 sizes mentioned in the question is 31mm?

Not only that, but the 8 wheel 20' boxcars take different size wheels than the regular 8 wheel boxcars.

The "standard" size is the 31mm diameter wheel, which is what's under the bobber caboose and most everything in B'mann's standard line. The "small" 25mm wheels go to the so-called "1:20" line of 20' rolling stock. If your box car is longer than 12" long, it ain't that.

Apply a modicum of deductive reasoning, and internet access, before opening your mouth.
