Hello. Brand new to the site; not sure if my subject has been covered or not.
Just getting back into the hobby after about 25 years away from it. Interests are North American narrow gauge (mostly HOn30), steam transition to early diesel passenger/freight, and some European, mostly French/German varnish.
My question is this: for the European stock I have, the mostly come with “pizzacutters” wheels. They aren’t really compatible with anything less than code 100 rail. I want to use maybe code 83 maximum. My passenger cars are relatively easy to convert to aftermarket RP25 wheels, but the steam locomotives and tender(drive) wheels are a different story! Any suggestions for altering the wheel profiles to help them run on lower profile rail?
Thanks
