For the first time, I'm experimenting in HOn30. I got the Grandt Line 23 ton boxcab in HOn3, and was planning on simply pushing in the wheels a bit. I saw other conversions online, and it seemed that was all they did.
I'm having two troubles. The first is that one of the axles seems to be defective--one of the wheels is not squarely mounted and everything wobbles.
However, before I try to get new parts, I seem to have a bigger problem. My track is Atlas N scale code 80. When the 23 tonner's wheels are properly gauged to ride the track, the inside of the flanges hang up in the switch flangeways.
Do I need to get some different wheels with a smaller flange profile or is there some other trick for making things work?
