Accucraft 2.5" scale cast steel wheels are premium ride-on wheels designed for 7.25"/7.5" gauge railways, combining prototypical appearance with heavy-duty performance. Each wheel features cast steel construction with integral rear ribs and raised lettering, faithfully replicating classic railroad wheel designs while providing added structural strength.
 
Key features include:
Cast steel construction for durability, weight, and long service life
Prototypical ribbed back and cast-in lettering for authentic appearance
26" prototype equivalent size
Approx. 5.4" actual diameter (2.5" scale)
Precision-machined tread and flange profile for smooth tracking
Available with two flange options:
.25" (RMI-25) flange – deeper flange design for improved tracking stability and reduced derailment risk
IBLS standard flange – compatible with established IBLS track standards
Designed for freight cars, passenger cars, and locomotives in demanding ride-on service
 
The .25" flange (RMI-25) is slightly taller than the traditional IBLS profile and has become widely accepted for ride-on equipment due to improved performance on switches and curves, while still maintaining compatibility with IBLS track systems .
 
These wheels offer an excellent balance of scale realism, strength, and operational reliability, making them ideal for both display-quality equipment and regular railway operation.
