Hi all,

I purchased this used from ebay, and it was advertised as an aristo-craft metal wheelset. When I received it, I noticed it was slightly different from the item in the listing. I'm trying to identify it as I need to acquire another one, but so far no luck. I've searched tons of metal wheelsets on ebay and Google images, and all of them seem to be different - either the center hub is larger, or they have a curved dish not sharp angles like these. Another detail to note is these have flat backs, no recess.

at 1:29 scale these would (I believe) be 33" wheelsets.

If anyone might know what they are I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.

With that much axle sticking out..
Perhaps USA Trains? - Though they look a little rough?

A few dimensions would help, wheel/flange diameters back 2 back etc.
 
Back in the day Gary Ramond in USA (1990’s?) also supplied Metal Wheels. Another possibility?

Not sure what this one is, but it is one of 4 axles that I have on an LGB Bogie Stake Wagon of USA style. Was left outside for a lot of years at my old line at Luton hence the rust, but still run fine which is why thay have not beeen swopped out like some of the other USa makes that I bought over the years.

Surely, if the item isn't the one you bid on, then the seller hasn't fulfilled their contract so you should be able to return it.
 
Rust = steel wheels, Al Kramer's Roll-EZ are solid turned brass, two versions, either bright or dull nickel plated, so no rust.
