Realistic (HD) Wheel Assemblies – Spare Parts / Retrofit Kit (Coming Soon)
The Realistic (HD) Wheel Assemblies Spare Parts Kit is designed for visual upgrades and retrofitting existing TKM train systems with a more detailed, realistic appearance.
This kit uses the same Realistic (HD) wheel assembly design found in the full HD train systems, offering increased visual accuracy while maintaining the same proven rolling performance as the Classic assemblies.
HD wheel assemblies are a visual upgrade only and do not affect train speed or performance.
This kit is ideal for customers who already own a train system and wish to upgrade the appearance of an existing build without purchasing an entirely new train system.
Not intended as a cheaper alternative to purchasing a full HD train system.
For best value, HD wheel assemblies should be selected at the time of purchasing a full train system, where they replace the Classic assemblies rather than being supplied in addition.
