Axles on Trackmater 1/Plarail Engines - Trainboy90 Productions - 07-05-2018

Does anyone know what types of Axles engines like Thomas and Percy use?

Plarail and TM1 Engines use these type of axles (Fisher price models mostly have the Axle attached to the chassis).

I have photos of the axles seen on the Plarail C12 50 (KF-01) and the soon to be discontinued JR 8620 Hitoyoshi #58654 (S-51).

I'll probably attach Paxton's wheels to the axle i'll be buying and buy 3D Printed siderods so I won't have to harvest them from dead engines.

I'm talking about the front wheels of the engine.

I wonder if they an be bought on eBay or Amazon.

As far as having a place to buy axles, I have not seen or heard of a place. Other than that I am not sure what you are asking for.

It's the axle ends that keeps the wheels on the engine

Are you talking about the drive wheel?

No, it's the front wheels of the engine as seen in the photos

RE: Axles on Trackmater 1/Plarail Engines - Super - 07-05-2018

So what is it you want to know about the front axle ends?

RE: Axles on Trackmater 1/Plarail Engines - Trainboy90 Productions - 07-05-2018

I want to know which ones are used on the tomy models

RE: Axles on Trackmater 1/Plarail Engines - Super - 07-05-2018

Still confused Undecided ....didn't you answer your own question in the pictures above?

RE: Axles on Trackmater 1/Plarail Engines - leylandvictory2 - 07-06-2018

all the engines use the same size of wheels.

Ok, Here's more evidence

Here's the Axle I'm talking about. It's meant from the front wheels

Here's an example on a broken Percy model

I think it could be a metal dowel with an end or something like that


I got more photos on what I mean:
