Very interesting video 👍 I have bought a few old secondhand Triang coaches, and I discovered they are not running very smoothly. I will look for new wheelsets. Thanks for this interesting tutorial 🙏👍🙋♂️🇧🇪
You will find on the older triang wheels that one wheel binds on the axle to hold it place. The solution is to fit brass bearings into holes of the bogie and fix the bearing with super glue. On TH-cam go to ‘John’s amazing trains’ and he has as video on how to fit the new wheels with brass bearings. Rgds from Down Under.
I converted to eighteen millimeter EM gauge in the mid-1970s and apart from scratch-built wagons and bogies, I have generally had no problem fitting Gibson and others' axles. I did have some very hard plastic/nylon bogies which were Hornby representations of GWR Dean bogies. All have brass bearing cups for pinpoint axles but those Dean bogies were really tough to insert cups and axles.
One wheel binds to the axle one revolves freely Push the axle out of the end of the wheel that binds by pressing it out by the freely revolving end of the axle , the axle has a stamped tap on it that locks one half
Hi interesting video. I've tried a similar wheel change on old triang wagons and come across problems. The biggest one is the wheel diameter. I bought 12.5mm diameter wheels thinking they would be okay. However when fitted the wagons were about 1mm higher. This was noticeable in the buffer height but mostly in the coupling height which meant they didn't couple up with other rolling stock or engines. So as you pointed out finding wheels of the correct diameter is very important.

The rake of wagons look great, coming over the slight rise in the track.Just a shame about the low speed wobble on the 2 Triang ones.
Your camera is nearly always off-shot - very poor!
