Can fellow members assist me please? I have a number of Bemo wagons fitted with 12mm wheelsets to run on my Swiss metre gauge layout which I would like to convert to run on my HOe 9mm layout. These tend to be the smaller wagons with a smaller loading gauge. Bemo used to make a 9mm wheelset with long stub axles that would fit in the 12mm axle box. Sadly with the demise of Winco I am at a loss to know where to obtain advice and service. Do any uk makers supply these? I did ask Brian at last years' Swanley show sales but he had run out converting stock from hom to 9mm.
I would appreciate any advice.
Many thanks
Stan
If they are the normal ones used by Bemo they can be pushed in or out, all you need is a brass back to back gauge, not new wheelsets.
I will try that - thank you, the simple solution is often the best! And I will report back.
