I bought some HO scale stuff a while back and Im just now finding the time to assemble it. I put 36"s metal wheels on most of my stuff but I dont think that I should put 36"s on this flat.I know some articulated cars use 28"s and 36"s on the ends. The car in question is a 81' 4 Truck (8 axles) Depressed Center Flat, Qttx#130553. Im basically trying to find out what the real car has when it comes to wheel sizes on each set of trucks. Any details, drawings, input would be welcomed.
Looks like 33" wheels according to this:http://southern.railfan.net/flat/flat_cars.html#130553 doesn't seem to fall into any of the number sets there for some reason.Edit: sorry, those are 12 axle cars listed under QTTX, nothing listed for 8 axle.
