Happy Steaming

Axles
Hi guys, I recently bought some 1 1/2" scale wheels with the hole in the wheel reamed to .5". What would be the recomended OD for the axle and the size of the shoulder on the axle? Also, should the axle rod be tapered or just pressed on with lock tight? Thanks for your help in advance. Jeff
