Hi I am wondering if there's an HO locomotive that has a metal 2mm diameter axle with a 'knurl' that is the kind of ridge in the centre so you can slide a gear on, to ensure it stays in position.

The picture below shows one.

This is for scratchbuilding, I want to widen the gauge of an old TT scale loco.

Hello Ben,
For length will you be changing to HO or another gauge?

Hi, from 12mm to another gauge, 14.2mm (TT finescale gauge for UK.) I'd expect to have to trim each end of any HO axle suitable.
