#532 - 36" Diameter Smooth Back Wheelsets (Code 88) - HO Scale Smooth wheelsets are most commonly found on diesel era rolling stock. Kadee® wheel sets are manufactured to the most exacting standards and feature: RP-25 contour, non-magnetic metal wheels and insulated needlepoint axles. Twelve Sets (1 Set = 1 Axle) Axle Tip to Tip: 1.018" Wheelset Features: Code 88 (.088") 36" Smooth Back Wheels Accurate markings Incredible detail true to prototype Non-magnetic Metal Wheels Smooth tracking Free rolling Contoured Insulated Axles RP-25 Free rolling wheels Needlepoint Axles Axle Tip to Tip: 1.018" Freight & Passenger Package Includes: (12) Sets #532 36" Diameter Smooth Back Wheelsets (Code 88)   The term Code 110 and Code 88 relates to the width of the wheels and has no relationship to track code. Code 110 wheels are .110" wide and Code 88 are .088" wide. Code 110 wheels are the common (or "Standard") width wheels and Code 88 are what is called "Semi-Scale" and are used when the modeler wants a more prototypical looking wheel width. Actual HO-Scale prototypical wheel width would be around .067" wide and although they will run OK on the average track they will not go through common turnouts and crossings. Code 88 (.088") is just about the minimum width of wheel that will run on most standard or common track if gauged correctly. It really is a matter of appearances because there's very little operational differences between running Code 110 or Code 88 wheels. Code 88 wheels look really good and are most noticeable on open frame cars like hoppers and tank cars. However, they also look great on boxcars, gondolas, and reefers but not quite as noticeable. As mentioned above track code and wheel code have no relationship meaning Code 110 and Code 88 will run on most any code of track. Track code is simply the measured height of the rail, code 100 is .100" tall, code 83 is .083" tall, code 70 is .070" tall, and so on.

The Walthers Track 948-83004 Code 83 Nickel Silver Bridge Track Set is a 36-inch (914mm) section of HO scale bridge track designed to detail your bridges and viaducts with prototypically correct heavy-rail track. Code 83 rail represents the 132-pound prototype rail used on most modern main lines, giving your bridge scenes a more accurate appearance than oversized Code 100 rail. The set includes the bridge track, two end pieces, and end-piece "wood" filler ties, all fully assembled and ready to install on your layout. Looking for more HO track or accessories? Browse our HO Trains & Track and HO Track & Accessories. What's Included Item Qty 36" (914mm) Code 83 Bridge Track section 1 Bridge Track End Pieces 2 End-piece "wood" Filler Ties 2 Features Models 132-pound prototype rail used on modern main lines — more prototypically accurate than Code 100. Custom-formulated nickel silver rail for outstanding electrical conductivity and rust resistance. Thin profile ties in realistic dark brown with enhanced wood-grain detail. Fine molded spike and tie plate detail on each tie for a prototypical look. Spike-mounting holes positioned next to the rail for solid track-to-bridge attachment. Includes Code 83-to-Code 83 end pieces — also adapts to Code 100 with appropriate transition joiners (sold separately). Scale: HO (1:87.1) — Code 83. More Information Brand Walthers Track Item Number 948-83004 Scale HO (1:87.1) Track Code Code 83 (132 lb. prototype rail) Rail Material Nickel silver Length 36" (914mm) Product Type Bridge Track Set Condition New, factory assembled FAQ What's the difference between Code 83 and Code 100?The number is the rail height in thousandths of an inch. Code 83 (.083") models 132-pound prototype rail and looks more prototypical for modern main lines. Code 100 (.100") models 150-pound rail and is the older industry standard. Both are HO scale and work on the same layout with transition joiners. Is this track compatible with other HO Code 83 track?Yes. It joins to virtually any Code 83 flex track or sectional track from Atlas, Walthers, Peco Code 83, and other manufacturers using the included end pieces. What does "bridge track" mean — does it include a bridge?No, this is the track that runs ON a bridge or trestle, not the bridge itself. The thinner ties and bridge-style detail are designed to look correct on top of a bridge deck. It's intended for use with separately-sold bridge kits. Is this DCC-compatible?Yes. Nickel silver rail handles both DC and DCC operation with no modification needed.

Walthers 948-9010 is a 5-pack of HO scale double-track foam roadbed — pre-shaped sections, each 36" (91.4cm) long, designed to support two parallel tracks for a prototypical mainline double-track look. Made from dense, closed-cell foam that matches standard HO cork roadbed dimensions, this roadbed quiets train running noise, lifts the mainline above the surrounding scenery, and provides a smooth, ready-to-paint surface for ballast. Looking for more HO track and accessories? Browse our HO Trains & Track and HO Track & Accessories. Features Five 36" (91.4cm) sections of double-track foam roadbed — 15 feet of mainline base in one package Pre-shaped for two parallel tracks (proper double-track spacing built in) Dense, closed-cell foam matches common HO cork roadbed dimensions for easy mixing with cork sections 3/16" thick, 3-1/2" wide at the top, 3-7/8" wide at the base Smooth surface — no extra sanding before painting or ballasting Track can be nailed or glued; cuts cleanly with a hobby or utility knife Quiets train running noise compared to bare benchwork Scale: HO (1:87) More Information Brand Walthers Track Item Number 948-9010 Scale HO (1:87) Product Type Double-Track Foam Roadbed (5-Pack) Material Closed-cell foam Section Length 36" (91.4cm) each, 5 per package Dimensions per piece 3/16" thick × 3-1/2" top width × 3-7/8" base width Condition New UPC 616374219537 FAQ Will this work with cork roadbed I already have on my layout?Yes. Walthers foam roadbed is dimensionally compatible with standard HO cork roadbed, so you can transition between the two with just a small bevel where they meet. Do I need to glue the roadbed down before laying track?Most modelers glue the foam roadbed to the benchwork with foam-safe latex caulk or white glue, then lay track on top with track nails or more glue. The foam will accept either nails or adhesive directly. What track spacing does this support?The double-track profile is sized for HO scale double-track mainline spacing (typically 2" between track centerlines), matching prototype practice. You can use it with Walthers Code 83/100 flex track, Atlas, Bachmann, or any standard HO track. How much double-track mainline can 5 pieces cover?Five 36" sections give you 15 feet of double-track base — enough for a meaningful double-track loop on a 4'×8' or larger layout, or a long mainline run in a shelf-style around-the-room layout.

The Walthers Mainline Plymouth ML-8 is the perfect industrial switcher for short lines, factory sidings, and museum railroads. This HO scale model captures the charm of the rugged little Plymouth diesels that have moved freight cars in industrial yards from the 1920s through today, painted in classic black with high-visibility yellow safety stripes and supplied with decals so you can letter it for any railroad you like. Looking for more HO scale industrial switchers and rolling stock? Browse our HO Trains & Track and HO Diesel Locomotives. Features Five-pole skew-wound motor with machined brass flywheel for smooth low-speed running Prototypical low-speed gearing and helical-cut gears for quiet operation — ideal for slow industrial switching All-wheel drive and electrical pickup for reliable performance over turnouts and rough industrial track Heavy die-cast metal underframe and hood for excellent tractive effort on tight curves Three-point suspension for positive track contact Constant directional LED headlights and RP-25 metal wheels Etched metal see-through radiator guard and separate metal handrails Decals included with Cornerstone industry logos, road numbers, and lettering options Standard DC analog operation — DCC-friendly mechanism (decoder not included; Walthers 910-20019 is the DCC version) Scale: HO (1:87) More Information Brand Walthers Mainline Item Number 910-10019 Scale HO (1:87) Type Industrial Switcher (Diesel Locomotive) Engine Style Plymouth ML-8 Road Name Painted, unlettered (decals included) Color Black with yellow safety stripes Era 1920s–Present (industrial) Engine Electronics Standard DC (DCC-friendly) Material Die-cast metal underframe & hood, plastic cab Wheels RP-25 metal Condition New UPC 616374222599 FAQ Is this DCC-ready?Yes — the mechanism is DCC-friendly. This is the DC analog version (no decoder, no sound). For factory-installed DCC, look for Walthers Mainline 910-20019 instead. Why is it painted but not lettered?Industrial switchers like the Plymouth ML-8 served countless small railroads, factories, and shortlines, so Walthers ships it painted but unlettered with a sheet of decals — pick from the included Cornerstone industry logos and numbers, or letter it for your own freelanced road. How tight a curve will it handle?The Plymouth's short wheelbase makes it ideal for the tight 18" radius industrial spurs typical of switching layouts. It will handle anything an HO layout can throw at it. Can I add sound?The DC version has limited internal space for a decoder/speaker. If you want sound, the dedicated DCC-only variant (910-20019) or the DCC-with-sound version (910-20020 series) are easier paths than retrofitting this one.
