HO Scale Planetary Hubs Set

This 1/87 scale plastic kit supplies 20 wheels, 20 tires and six axles for model railway rolling stock or diorama vehicles. The parts arrive in the manufacturer's original unopened packaging. It is aimed at adult collectors and hobbyists who need accurate period detail.

True-to-Scale Thermals and Power

The components are static plastic pieces with no moving parts, electronics or power requirements. They generate no heat and produce no noise during display or handling. No external supply or battery is needed for any function.

0.5 Inch Wheel Diameter Decides Fit

Each wheel measures approximately .5 inches across, matching HO gauge standards for planetary hub prototypes. Builders working in other scales or needing different hub styles will find the dimensions incompatible.

Questions about this item

How do I install the axles into the planetary hubs without cracking the plastic?

Press each of the six axles straight into the hub bores; the tight fit holds the twenty wheels and twenty tires without glue, but forcing them at an angle splits the hub walls.

What parts will need replacement after repeated layout changes?

The thin tyre sidewalls and the small axle ends fatigue first; keep spare wheels and axles from the same set for quick swaps.

At what point does the .5 inch wheel diameter limit realistic operation?

The .5 inch rolling circumference restricts gear ratios, so sustained low-speed shunting stalls before the plastic hubs show wear.
