Previously I've seen some places that reprofile triang power bogie wheels (which usually have deep flanges), so that the flanges are shallower and run better on modern track.

I did buy a pair of wheels some time ago, they were metal replacements rather than reprofiling the original wheels.
These replacements were bad. Whilst they were shiny and clean, they had a plastic core, and the pickups didn't align with the metal of the wheels.

If anyone knows where I for a reasonable cost, get the flanges cut down a bit (not sure how I'd do it myself). Thankyou

This place might help you .https://www.hornbytriangspareparts.co.uk/ If not why not try the Newhaven model club. When i was a member there they had a workshop somebody may do it for you at a cost.
