As a general rule standard gauge axles will work for 36" gauge by subtracting 20 1/2" from the overall length, this keeps the journal, dust guard and wheel seat the same. This allows using standard journal boxes and brasses.
One exception is East Broad Top 4 1/4" x 8" axles which are an inch longer than a standard gauge axle minus the 20 1/2" difference in gauge.
