Would Bachmann wheelsets be also be reccomended for HO/OO Conversions like this?

[sodorstudios]

@ThomasAndFanboy12 No,but you can try. I have done that with stepney but the wheels are isolated with a piece of plastic and sometimes the set doesn't fit under the chassis because of that piece .

marklin wheels are unisolated .

so theres no motor?

[sodorstudios]

@donaldthescotishtwin No, i use an ironwire to push and pull the engines.

If you look good you sometimes can see it.

@sodorstudios The bottom parts of the takealongs are plastic not metal. In the US we have a different gauge then the UK and all of europe do. You could use the marklin wheel sets, but if you are in the us they will derail at junctions.

@yan2001123 The couplers of that flatbed are made out of iron so: they are magnetic.

[yan2001123]

@yan2001123 oops it should be pull the flatbed.

[yan2001123]

@sodorstudios hey at the begining how did stepeny push the flatbed?

[LEON13858]

@sodorstudios @sodorstudios Well, that's a downer for me. I only live in the USA and they don't sell Marklin brand trains in my country where I live. :( Also, do you know where I can get Marklin wheelsets for sale online besides The Markin trains website?
