Please could somebody put a micrometer to a Peco OO9 axle and tell me the length? Thanks!

I realized I could ask Andrew at Peco. The answer is 15.0 mm. Pity, as the N gauge resistor wheelsets I was thinking of buying from Fox Valley Models are nearly a milimetre shorter.

You were hoping for an interference fit? :-)

I needed metal wheels for fitting electrical resistors for block occupancy detection onto my Peco ready-to-run stock. Graham Farish wheels not only fit perfectly but also halve the rolling resistance of the original Peco wheels.
