Hornby R8096 12.6 mm 00 scale metal disc wheels packs

These wheels are well made, round (it seems that not all manufacturers are capable of making perfectly round wheels) and run very smoothly.

I have a large collection of Tri-ang and Tri-ang/Hornby locomotives and rolling stock from between 1957 and 1972. These wheels and others of different diameters and styles offered by Hornby are excellent replacements for the original Tri-ang plastic sleeved and fixed wheels.

The original Tri-ang wheels are not compatible with modern points, have often rusted to their axles so that they do not spin freely, or at all, and tend to very quickly accumulate gunk on the wheel treads.

Replacing the old plastic wheels with modern Hornby metal wheels solves all of these problems.

By the use of brass tube axles sliders and conductive paint on one end of the axle, or, by the use of phosphor bronze wipers or springs at both ends of the axle, these wheels can be used for additional electrical pick-ups, but doing this properly does require some special tools (including a wheel puller, wheel press, NMRA standards gauge and electronics soldering iron).

In all, I have bought 15 packs of these wheels and many more packs of the other various sizes to re-wheel my Tri-ang collection. Unfortunately, Hornby do not offer packs of the 10mm (36”) wheels required for later Transcontinental series coaches, some locomotive bogies, some tenders and all Transcontinental rolling stock (but Evemodel does).

These wheels are direct, drop-in replacements for newer model Tri-ang fixed plastic wheels on needle point axles. Just add a drop of plastic compatible oil on each axle box for smooth running (I use sewing machine oil, which is cheap and ready available).

These wheels can also be used to replace the older, Tri-ang sleeved plastic wheels, but some modifications to the bogie or wagon frame is required. Push the axles out (there are many videos on YouTube about how to do that). Don’t push too hard or you might break the bogie or axle box. If the axles have rusted and you can’t EASILY push the axle through with minimum force, I suggest carefully cutting away the wheel at the splined end of the axle with rail nippers and you should then be able to remove the axle.

Then, using Evergreen styrene 2.4mm tube bearings (see my post on the Hornby website about how to do this) you will be able to fit these wheels to run almost as smoothly if you were to use expensive and hard to find and ever harder to fit brass bearings. Using my method, once you have removed the old wheels you can re- wheel a 4 axles bogie coach in under 10 minutes (I have done it in 4 minutes).

The photos are of two examples of former sleeved-wheel carriages that I have fitted with these wheels using my styrene bearing method:
* a 1958 green Southern Railways main line brake 3rd coach, R.220; and
* a 1959 silver and red Transcontinental observation coach, R.24.

I highly recommend these and all of the other wheels offered by Hornby.
