Product Description
Someone quite likes my HO (3.5mm:1ft, 1:87) wheels in 3"1.5" scale diameter, but wants them 2'9" (33) and 3'0" (36) so I have resized them and uploaded as a combined model here, four of each size. They should run on HO gauge track (16.5 mm) and they have a pinpoint distance of 24.5 mm. I've uploaded lots of wheels before so these should work, but please remember that they have not been tested to confirm things. The pinpoints and flanges should be OK in smooth- or smoothest fine detail plastic, based on experience and feedback so far in other scales (3mm, 4mm) but they will surely not be as wear resistant, smooth running or impact resistant as metal ones. They are designed with a cages around them to simplify handling (only 2 things to pick up). To get them out, snip the wires carefully so that you don't damage the axles, or the flanges of the wheels. Clean and blacken them using your own chosen method, or read how I do it in the notes on lots of my other models.
Flange depth is about 0.5mm which is pretty fine.
UPDATE 2021-12-10 Increased the flange depth to about 0.8mm, File Version 03
UPDATE 2022-02-09 Decreased the back to back gauge by 0.5mm, File Version 04
