These wheel sets are great and add realism to rolling stock. They are also helpful in keeping your cars on track as they replace the plastic wheels that are harder to keep round. These are great and have made all the difference in my rolling stock.

Perfect for steam era cars. Run smooth and easy, and look great, too.

The ribbed back are appropriate for my pre-1930 layout. More importantly, the metal wheels don't attract gunk the way plastic wheels do, keeping the track cleaner and avoiding the need for cleaning. Add to that Kadee's reputation for being in gauge and round, and it's clear why I've standardized on these wheelsets wherever they fit.
