Hi everyone, I was just recently given two Jouef open coaches. They are in good shape till I looked underneath at the wheels. They are pitted. After much cleaning they are acceptable, but I would like to change them.
Having searched for wheels on this forum I could not find anything in reference for "new replacement wheel sets" for Joeuf coaches. Perhaps there is, but I may have missed the discussion.
Below are the wheel specification..
Wheel diameter.. 5.92mm or 0.233"
Axel length..... 13.74mm or 0.540"
Axel diameter... 1.39mm or 0.054"
Any help or suggestion would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Robin
There is no exact match.
The Greenwich wheels a are close.
However, these are not available at the moment and are not a direct replacement.
Perhaps your best bet is to purchase some Jouef V skips, repainted or otherwise messed about with at a cheap price on e-bay? Then use the wheels from them.

Thanks Brian. I didn't think there was a direct wheel replacement for these coaches.I will look around for older Jouef models.
I was trying out all the different wheels/ axel sizes I have in my parts bin and Microtrains axel was a perfect fit, but the wheel diameters are not correct for this particular model.
It looked funny, a "low rider" coach.
Robin.
