There are two types of wheel cups that work with SG wheels: in years past, full size cups were made that had replaceable pins for lionel vs AF vs Ives screw sizes. Another variation just worked the wheel centers, tools about 1 inch diameter or so, with the series of pins and quartering marks. Hobby horse made the latter I believe. I have one set of each type and made inserts for the full size set so that the smaller wheels (small AF) would center.

Thanks guys for the quick response. I have a Hobby Horse  press & most of their cups which have worked very well over the years The exception is standard gauge set H-1010  which to me leaves a lot to be desired, 1/1/4"cups & small quartering pins The cups  are smaller than my O gauge cups by them. I guess my hands are not as nimble when I'm trying to re quarter the bigger engine wheels  I would personally prefer cups made f/ wide or standard gauge but I guess they seem to be a rare item . I'll keep looking.  Thanks again for your input
