Product Description

The Piko 36173 G Scale Idler Wheelset BR80 is a replacement idler wheelset designed for BR80 steam locomotives. Unlike geared wheelsets, idler wheelsets provide smooth rolling support, balancing the locomotive's running gear and ensuring consistent performance across the track. This component is essential for maintaining proper alignment and stability, especially when operating on curves or hauling longer consists. Built to Piko's exacting standards, the wheelset offers long?lasting reliability and smooth operation.

In addition to its mechanical function, the Piko 36173 Idler Wheelset BR80 enhances the locomotive's prototypical appearance. Its finish and dimensions replicate the BR80's distinctive wheel arrangement, adding authenticity to the model. Hobbyists can explore Piko's wide variety of components - including wheel wipers, pickup shoes, smoke units, and sound decoders - to further upgrade their BR80 locomotives. Together, these parts ensure that the locomotive not only runs smoothly but also delivers a realistic and immersive experience.
