Rear Wheelset for HO Scale Models

This Promotex rear wheelset is built to 1/87 scale for model railway layouts and dioramas. It suits collectors and hobbyists who need accurate rolling stock details. The officially licensed accessory arrives in original unopened packaging. Some simple assembly is required before use.

Sustained Handling and Detail Retention

The plastic construction maintains its true-to-scale profile during repeated handling and long-term display. Chrome finish resists dulling when the wheelset sits on track or shelf for extended periods. Each wheel measures approximately .5 inches in diameter, matching HO proportions. No moving drivetrain parts are present, so wear under load is not a factor.

Scale Compatibility Limits

The wheelset conforms to the 87 ratio used in standard HO gauge modelling. It will not match larger or smaller gauge standards without visible size mismatch. Only one wheelset is included, so a full axle pair requires a second purchase. Assembly is limited to basic fitting; no specialised tools are mentioned.

Questions about this item

Will the chrome wheelset run hot or draw extra power on my HO layout all day?

The Promotex wheelset has no motor or electronics, so it produces no heat and draws no power during operation.

What do I already need to mount this 1/87 scale rear wheelset?

You need a compatible HO-scale rolling-stock chassis or axle set that accepts .5-inch diameter wheels.

Can I mix this Promotex chrome wheelset with older HO rolling stock I already own?

Yes, the .5-inch wheels match standard HO gauge, so they couple and track alongside vintage equipment without modification.
