RIP Track: Working on the Accurail Cars - Couplers and Wheelsets
I'll need to assemble some Accurail cars for the layout. This also means coupler and wheelset swap outs. Several post suggest I replace the wheels with Intermountain or Proto 2000 wheelsets for 33" wheels.
Here is a good article on Accurail car assembly.

It appears that Intermountain Wheelsets have become the most preferred.
