Hi, i understand that to get my 1960s triang / hornby midland blue pullman to run on modern code 100 track i need to change the wheel sets on the power bogie, as at the moment the flanges are bouncing over the plastic trough in the bottom of the check rail, i just want to make sure this can be done and what new wheels to buy ie product code etc any advice would be very much appreciated thanks.

 Hi Beaky,

 

I just did the same thing to a couple of old dock shunter locos.

 

The old wheels pull right off. Just a friction fit. One or two needed a bit of persuasion, but two pairs of soft jawed pliers did the trick.

 

Then just a matter of pushing the new wheels on. Making sure you bend the pickup slightly so it touches the outer edge of each insulated wheel.

 

Do a search on ebay for Triang Fine Scale Wheels. You will find him. They even come with a fitting instruction guide.

 

Very simple to do.

 

Good Luck.

 

JB
