This is a replacement set of 4 axles for a HO Scale Bachmann 4-8-4 Northern. Only 3 are required per locomotive as the 4th axle has a gear between the wheels. These are designed to replace original split axles.
This model has been designed for FUD & FXD materials. If printed in the FUD & FXD materials it will require cleaning before painting. I recommend washing with warm soapy water then soaking in Goo Gone; or a similar non-corrosive product for 24 hours. Then rinsing off with warm water and allowing to dry.
