Jim, the 3mm ID is for most all the axles. The 6 mm OD would necessitate drilling a 6mm hole in the journal. It's been reported that when the Aristo inserts are removed, the 6 mm fits right in. This unit has a flange with will keep it in the journal right nicely.
I've used some without the flange and if you don't drill the hole at the proper depth, the bearing did not work properly.
In the recent past, I've done away with all the ball bearings in the journals and just run straight metal wheels. Mostly Bachmann with very good success.
