Precision nickel silver plated brass wheelsets are single insulated, non-magnetic, blackened, and free rolling.
The CAPY information is typically printed on model freight cars and can be used as a guide. Some cars have the wheel size printed on the sides or ends of the car in the data. If you are ever unsure of which size to use, you can simply replace the wheels currently on the car with the same size.
Wheel diameter can be measured with a caliper:
33" wheels measure (33/160=.206") in N scale.
36" wheels measure (36/160=.225") in N scale.
(160 = N scale to prototype ratio. N scale is 160 times smaller than the prototype).
Wheelset finish has been improved to have a dull blackened appearance to be more realistic without the immediate need for weathering. It also provides a nice base starting point for weathering if desired.
