Trying to match up wheelsets for some IHC passneger cars, I wrote, and was told to measure the Axle length". When II did, I was told to download the ‘Applications" Chart’ ". When I finally got all pages in hard copy, There were no cross reference to IHC’s Passenger cars, only their 'Metal passenger trucks.

  1. IHC metal trucks are spot welded together and if taken apart will destroy the truck. also Central Vally’s, which are riveted together - same deal.
    Tthe person on the phone could not come up with a matching product.

A phone call to Jim Bennett (Jay Bee) solved my problem: He said the IHC cars used a shorter NEM axles, not NMRA . A subsequent order for JB’s metal wheels with NEM axles dropped right in…

I have not bothered with Reboxx wheelsets, since.

I guess Reboxx is not infalible after all. They certainly put a lot of effort into it. I can’t recall a subject here or at Atlas that drew so many responses. The industry doesn’t make it easy and newbies must be bald by now.
