Scuzzy Wheels

[D&J RailRoad]

I just swapped these wheels out for metal wheels. Theses have been running for at least 20 years, possibly 30.
They will go into the plastic wheel box until I can find something to do with them.

"Scuzzy Wheels" Professor, you have just added a new term to my personal glossary of model railroad terms.

They are indeed scuzzy!

You could always paint them and use for flatbed loads with some dunnage, or laying around the layout by a maintenence yard, even as scrap loads.

I Agree with Smudge & NorthBrit. UP Yard, Green River.

make sure you let the air out so they last longer in storage

I thought you were a master modeler until I realized it was a real scene-- Maybe that makes you a master photographer!
