I am getting ready to replace the non insulated wheel sets in my Weaver GP38-2.  Does anybody know if P&D part number PDD 10019 has the same flange as the exhisting non insulated wheel sets?   Thier site isnt really descriptive and Pat was out of the shop by the time I was free to call today from work.  I am guessing they are as the next number is the non insulated wheel sets like I have.  Mike

The P&D wheel sets set up for 2 rail operation have smaller flanges than the 3 rail Weaver ones.  A little history might interest you.  P&D purchased the Weaver components years ago for use in his EMD F3/F7/F9 kits.  He also offered a version of the drive for powering/repowering Red Caboose GP9's.  To address issues with spilt gears and sprockets in the Weaver horizontal drive diesels, Pat upgraded the materials (and possibly process) used in the manufacturing the gears and sprockets - problem solved..
