If you need some for microtrains trucks, make sure it says for microtrains trucks. They are different. The microtrains wheelsets are shorter.

Fox Valley makes metal wheelsets for MT and other N scale cars

As mentioned above, Microtrains trucks use a shorter, by about .020", axle.

Intermountain makes really nice metal wheels sets for Microtrains and other trucks.

Part #650050 is the longer axle version. Part #650052 fits Microtrains trucks.

I’ve converted most of my rolling stock and am well pleased. They have a nice tarnished finish.

Intermountain Trains also make code 55 metal wheelsets. Make sure you get microtrains sized sets or they will NOT work!
