Does anyone know of a supplier of 32 mm steel wheel sets for converting LGB 45 mm rolling stock to 32 mm? Back2bay6 & Brandbright use to do them but sadly they are no longer with us and whilst the LGB wheels can be adjusted on their axles the wheel flanges catch the sleepers on SM 32 Peco track.

Thanks

Trackshack do the Accucraft 32 & 45mm wheelsets (I have used the 45mm to replace plastic wheelsets).

As mentioned, Accucraft may be worth checking out. I seem to remember my Bagulay diesel set and subsequent wagon purchase came with wheels/axles for both gauges. Mine have moved on but there may be folk on here who have similar items and don't want their 32mm gauge wheels? I don't remember what diameter the wheels were.

How many do you want and what diameter are you looking for? I'm sure I have some in the garage somewhere.
Thought so. If I remember correctly these are Accucraft W&L style six hole 30mm diameter. I've got 5 pairs (that's 10 axles) £20 plus postage.

IP Engineering do metal wheels buy gauge 1 wheels then slide the wheels along the axle to 0 gauge.
I did this with some Newqida coaches I had, the only problem I had was the axles were a little short fortunately I had some 1/8 stainless steel rod which helped.
You may be lucky and find that the LGB axles will fit the IP wheels or the IP axles will be long enough.

Got your message. Sorry, only got these. I bought 5 waggons and regauged them to 45mm with the alternative axles provided. On twelve hour shifts until the middle of next week so no time for a further search. I've got a pack of 2 Peco O gauge axles with spoked wheels and four O gauge bogies if you're into scratch building.
