InterMountain Railway Company has been making highly detailed model trains and metal wheelsets in Longmont, Colorado since 1985. They're especially known for two things: prototypically accurate refrigerator cars and covered hoppers that set the detail benchmark in HO and N, and the highest-quality replacement metal wheelsets in the hobby.
Our InterMountain collection focuses on their wheelset line — the easiest upgrade you can make to almost any HO or N scale rolling stock. HO wheelsets include the 40050 33" Metal Insulated (.110" tread, 12-pack), 40051 36" Metal Insulated (.110" tread, 12-pack), 40052 33" Metal Semi-Scale (.088" tread, 12-pack), and the 40055 / 40056 Bulk Packs (33" and 36" Metal Insulated, 100-piece for re-fleeting an entire roster). N wheelsets include the 60050 33" Brass Insulated (.554" axle, 12-pack), 60051 36" Brass Insulated (.554" axle, 12-pack), and 60071 36" High Detail Brass Insulated (12-pack).
Swapping plastic wheels for InterMountain metal wheelsets reduces rolling resistance, cuts down on track gunk, and lets longer trains roll farther on grades. Pair InterMountain wheelsets with Kadee couplers and Parts & Accessories. Ships from Oakville, Ontario. Free shipping on orders over $250.
