Does the GE Jersey Arrow lll, Amtrak’s Amfleet coaches, and Horizon Comet coaches have 33 inch or 36 inch wheels? I think the IHP’s Arrow III kits came with 33 inch wheels.Do all commuter trains and passenger trains have the same wheel size?

Might get a better answer by going to the Prototype section of these forums, just below the Electric/DCC section.

Good luck,

Google searches will bring up hundreds or more results with links you can store in Favorites. You can then compare many different types of rolling stock and loco wheels sizes and not get caught up in opinions or guesses.

That’s what I thought, but the IHP’s Arrow III kits came with 33 inch wheels.
