I purchased some stuff at the excellent ExpoNG from our member sales and found that 2 of the wagon sets (BEMO long log carriers, part no 2006813, possibly 2006811) have HOm wheelsets fitted which is a dissapointment.
Does anuyone know where I can get HOe replacement wheelsets for these wagons as moving the wheels on the axles only seems possible at one end of each axle, which will make then run lopsided :D
I would also be happy to buy the log carrier bracket that comes with themas one is missing from the sets
Hopefully someone will know how to resolve this issue
Many Thanks

Iain,
All of the 12mm gauge stock was in trays clearly marked as such (at least they were when we laid the stock out!), but with the crush around the tables it is quite possible that the wagons you bought had been moved from their original trays or you may simply not have seen the notices in the melee.
Contact Brian - address, email or telephone on page 3 of the News. He will exchange or refund on return of the goods if your purchase was unsatisfactory in any way.

Mick,
I suspect that stuff had become mixed up as I picked the 2 boxes from amongst other items that were definitely 9mm. The boxes are also marked HOe - HOm on the outside and when I have purchased BEMO kit marked this way before there have been spare axle sets for the other gauge.
I don't need a refund, happy to keep them, I was just looking for a lazy way to correct the gauge - the way open looks like setting them manually and hopefully getting it correct - good practice anyway ;)
if there is anyone who models in 12mm gauge and needs the wheel-sets and happens to have 12 axles of 9mm gauge free then you know who to call :)
Iain,
I once bought some Bemo 9mm gauge axles from MG Sharp in Sheffield but that was over 15 years ago and I'm pretty sure that they don't do much Bemo these days but you could try, their number is 0114 2440851. I would try Winco Models I think they are Bemo import agents, give them a call on 01962 869301 Monday to Friday 10am to 9pm.
Hope this helps,
Darren.
What a wonderful tool!!! I have to admit that I took a much simpler route, I bought some HOe wheelsets from eBay.de with HOm axles - Eur 12.50 (inc postage) for 20 axles which allowed me to put new axles on some other BEMO kit that I had, with the result that they run much more freely :laugh:
Have to say though that the tool is a much slicker solution
