These high performance blackened metal wheels feature a scale profile with needlepoint bearings and RP25 wheel Contours. The perfect replacement allows for smooth operation of your rolling stock. From the Manufacturer Metal Replacement wheels for Rolling Stock. High performance steel wheels. 33" scale profile. Replaces plastic wheels. Review: Great wheels - I just love these 33" wheel sets from Bachmann, the difference they make when mounted on both new and old rolling stock is really really noticeable, extremely low rolling resistance make your locomotives work a lot easier (they can pull much larger trains) also the sound of metal wheels going through the track joints is delightful, and adds to the overall joyful experience of running your train set. I have mounted these 33" wheel sets on rolling stock from the following manufacturers: Bachmann, Life-like & Model Power, some of the freight cars date back from 1988 all the way to 2012, and all of them have been nicely upgraded with the metal wheels. I like them so much that I really refuse to go back to plastic wheels, so whenever I get additional rolling stock, 33" Bachmann metal wheel sets are a must. I did also try 33" wheel sets from Atlas but their axle tips appear to be a bit larger just enough to create noticeable rolling resistance (at least on my rolling stock) so I pass on those. Review: Wheels! - Great metal option to swap out the plastic kit wheels on our rolling stock. ## Features - High Performance Blackened Metal Wheels - 33" Scale Profile Wheels with Needle Point Bearings and RP25 Wheel Contours - Replaces Plastic Wheels - Allows For Smooth Operation Of Rolling Stock - HO Scale 1:87 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0013JYT5O | | Age Range Description | Kid | | Brand Name | Bachmann | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (258) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00022899429045 | | Included Components | Bachmann Trains 33" FLAT BACK WHEEL SETS (12 per card) - HO Scale | | Is Assembly Required | No | | Item Dimensions | 5.5 x 3.7 x 0.2 inches | | Item Type Name | Trains 33" FLAT BACK WHEEL SETS (12 per card) - HO Scale | | Item Weight | 1.76 ounces | | Manufacturer | Bachmann Industries Inc. | | Manufacturer Maximum Age (MONTHS) | 640.0 | | Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS) | 168.0 | | Manufacturer Part Number | 42904 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 90 Day Warranty - Warranty information can be found at www.bachmanntrains.com Click on Service department tab. | | Material Type | Alloy Steel, Plastic | | Model Number | 42904 | | Scale | HO | | Size | One Size | | UPC | 022899429045 | ## Images ![Trains 33" FLAT BACK WHEEL SETS (12 per card) - HO Scale - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71yCxBCabwL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great wheels *by J***L on April 5, 2012* I just love these 33" wheel sets from Bachmann, the difference they make when mounted on both new and old rolling stock is really really noticeable, extremely low rolling resistance make your locomotives work a lot easier (they can pull much larger trains) also the sound of metal wheels going through the track joints is delightful, and adds to the overall joyful experience of running your train set.

All three are good but "when push comes to shove" the Bachmann's are my favorite. They are easy to put, roll extremely well on both steel and nickel silver track (I have sections of both), sound great and have caused no problems. I also like the Intermountain wheels when they work. In a batch of 20, 3 caused my DCC layout to short bringing the trains to a stop. So, I had to keep swapping wheels to find the guilty party and through them out. No such problem with the Bachmann metal wheels; everyone I have put on a car has worked immediately! ## Frequently Bought Together - Bachmann Trains 33" FLAT BACK WHEEL SETS (12 per card) - HO Scale - Bachmann Trains 36" FLAT BACK WHEEL SETS (12 per card) - HO Scale - Bachmann Trains - E-Z MATE MARK II COUPLERS - MAGNETIC KNUCKLE COUPLERS with METAL COIL SPRING - UNDER SHANK - LONG (12 pair/card) - HO Scale --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/5042524-trains-33-flat-back-wheel-sets-12-per-card-ho](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/5042524-trains-33-flat-back-wheel-sets-12-per-card-ho) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
