I do, even though it's a pain in the arse! The problem is, unless you have an extraordinary amount of patience to build a larger layout you have to keep it small and simple. I have been working on and off on a 6 x 2.5 foot shunting yard for years with wooden ply sleepers etc... And it is tough!

Irish Railway Models A Class Re-wheeled to 21mm
in Irish Models
Posted
Thanks for the welcome Murphaph! Yes I did, just pushed them out and slid on the P4 wheels. The nice thing about the IRM A Class is one, they give you the wide axels and two, because of that you also get to keep the rotating axel boxes. I re-wheeled my MM 121 last year but since the axels are standard narrower 00 width I had to cut and install my own wider axels as I did in the past with the 141, 181 and 071s and as of yet have not figured out a way to attach them to the ends. Having said that, I honestly don't even focus on the rotating boxes on either model so I'm thinking of just permanently fixing them to the outside of the bogies, unless someone on here has got any suggestions?
