Kato wheelsets?

I am looking for kato wheels on ebay, but I am not sure which ones are the correct ones to buy.

Would this be correct? Their parts store is under Construction.

the answer, alas, is "it depends".  In particular, it depends on what you are going to use the wheels for.  Kato makes and sells a variety of wheel sets in various sizes, some suitable for electrical pickup, some with gears, various diameters, etc.

So - tell us how you intend to use the wheels, and we can try and give you some helpful advice.

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.

I have some superliners and other rolling stock that don't have wheels (can't remember why, it's been a while)
