Peco axle length

[Tom Haythornthwaite]

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.

Which vehicles are you using them for?Graham Farish wheelsets fit the L&B 4-wheelers OK!

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.
