Locomotive Rolling Road For Minatare Trains Made By MRW

Rolling Road for the Testing of Miniature Trains - Available in 7 1/4, 5 or 3 1/2" Gauges
 

 

Rolling roads are ideal for testing locomotives. Built from 6mm steel plate and using sealed roller bearings, these rolling roads are sturdy and durable and an excellent tool for anyone looking to rebuild and restore miniature locomotives. All our rolling roads are adjustable so that you can alter the distance between the rollers to suit your locomotive. This feature has holes that allow the bearings to be positioned in a way that best suits your locomotive. This ensures that our rolling road will fit your locomtive.

 

 

To operate the rolling road you must ensure to have the rolling roads on a flat surface. Once they are on the flat surface they must be adjusted so that the roller bearings are in the correct settting for the size of your locomotive wheels. Once they have been bolted into the correct hole then you must check that the roller bearings are rolling freely. 

Following this the locomotive can be placed onto the rolling roads before being carefully ran at slow to medium speeds.
