All Brass Insulated Wheel Sets pkg(12) - 33''

Just a tip. No points involved. When needing metal wheel sets, like building Accurail car kits and getting rid of the plastic, I use these wheel sets exclusively. Even with some RTR cars you may get metal wheels with an NMRA RP25 contour but with a plastic axle, advertised as a non-magnetic axle. Call it whatever you want but it’s still plastic so I install these. They are heavier and add weight to the car, but gaining toward proper weight with a lower center of gravity for better tracking. We are talking very low weight in grams but keep in mind the same physics are at play as in the prototype world but scaled down, like everything else in modeling. These work well with most all manufacturers' trucks but in my experience they perform exceptionally well with Accurail trucks. And with one wheel insulated on each axle it's a simple matter to install wipers for electrical pick-up for any purpose.
