What size wheels does the Gunderson Maxi III take? Also, what size wheels does the spine

cars take?

sincerely,

Chris

I’m not sure on the spine cars, but I think they use a 28" wheel. On the Maxi-III cars in 5 unit sets, they use 33" wheels on the ends and 36" in the middle. I don’t know for certain, but I think the individual Maxi-III units probably use a 33" wheel also.

The Maxi III have 33" wheels on the ends of the cars and 38" wheels on the intermediate trucks. Single Maxi III well cars have 33" wheels. Most 5 unit articulated Spine cars have 33" wheels, earlier ones used 28" wheels. Some 3 unit articulated spine cars have 36" wheels as well.
