NEED WHEEL SETS WHATS DIFF BETWEEN 33 AND 36"

jward

33s are usually used on freight cars. 36s on passenger cars, at least on models. be careful not to use 36s in place of 33s, the larger wheels can rub the car floors and brake parts. plus, using the wrong size will affect coupler height.

THANKS FOR THE INFO I AM A BEGINNER

OldTimer

John,
Since you are a beginner, first, let me welcome you to the world's finest hobby.  It has given me and countless others thousands of hours of pleasure and I'm sure that it will be a rewarding experience for you, too.

Second, I should tell you that typing in all caps is often considered rude.  People sort of take it as shouting.  Besides, odd as it sounds, all caps is harder to read.

Again, welcome to model railraoding.  Have a grand time and keep asking questions.
