Replacement parts

Hey everyone, I have an ATHEARN - 4923 CN C44-9W #2521 and I want to change the wheels to Nickel Silver. There are 3 sizes, 40", 42", 45" how do I find this out or can someone tell me, and do I need half axle or do I need the hole axle with gear?
Thanks

According to Wikipedia the Dash 9 had 42 inch wheels.

Not sure about your other question. I have put wheels on several OLDER Athearn locos and alway used the half axles. The wheel/axle is pressed into the gear. In some cases the fit was too loose, so a tiny drop of acc to make sure it stays. Make sure to use a NMRA gage to check the wheels when assembling.

You want NWSL 371424, code 110, 42" wheels.

What is the difference between inside and outside frame
Thanks jbaakko

 

[jbaakko]

The metal frame is on the outside, or inside. If you're unsure, buy inside, because outside frame was discontinued YEARS ago.

This is too confusing, the hell with it I'll just buy both

You won't need the outside frame ones, trust me!
