I was wonderin what size wheels 33" 36"?

I believe, those are 100 ton loaded. I would think they then, are 36" due to the weight.

May also post this over in the Trains.Com board. someone might know over there. Or maybe have clues due to the weight of the car.

Good luck.

100 ton cars generally have 36" wheels. Always check the specific prototype though.

These cars have 100 Ton trucks, that means 36" wheels. The Athearn Genesis 100 Ton ASF Roller Bearings are a drop in replacement. (I know because I have 7 of them.) :> Walthers trucks are already 100 ton but they are 33" wheels. You can use any of the replacement wheels if you don’t want to spring for the Genesis trucks.
