[stang_crazy]

So i have a few sets of athearn spine cars that still have the plastic wheels, what do ya guys use that put metal wheel sets on them.

If i recall there a 28" but dont know of anyone that offers them.?

I replaced mine with Kadee #524 28" wheelsets.

Intermountain also makes 28" wheels.

I went with the IM 28" and tuned the trucks.
They roll great now.

IM is who ill more then likely go with since thats what all my 33 & 36's are.

I hadnt seen the IM 28's but then again i wasnt paying attention till now.

28" wheels are only good for the Front Runner/Four Runner sets. Everything else uses 33" wheels.

I dont think thats true as I belive the 10 unit ATSF Fuel Foiler spine car used 28" wheels which is the car that Athearn made back in the day. The 5 unit spine car from Walthers uses 33" wheels though.

The 28" wheels are also good for auto racks
