Quarryscapes Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I only need a small flywheel, say 10mm dia by 10mm long, 1.5mm bore. All I can find so far is a Hollywood Foundry one, but shipping from Australia makes it uneconomical. Any UK sources? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Holliday Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Try an email to Branchlines sales@branchlines.com or phone 01373 822231, but perhaps not this weekend as they are at Railwells. They sell the 1015 motor and have displayed various flywheels, so I suspect they would have something that would fit. Don't bother with their blogspot, as it is several years out of date, but there is the promise of a proper website in the "near" future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Rite Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Hi, I think you will find that Dave Cleal at MainlyTrains in Watchet will be able to help you. Dave still stocks the basics for 4mm model building and offers a very good mail order service. A number of years ago I posted off an order on the Thursday before Easter (Maundy Thursday) from Dampier in Western Australia's North West 1200 kms from Perth our State Capital, where all postal items have to pass on thier way to the rest of Australia (and the World). I returned to work on the Tuesday after Easter and driving into Dampier to stock up on bread, cheese and milk I called into the Dampier Post Office to see if I had any mail, well, yes I did. There was a parcel postmarked Exeter on the previous Saturday, so they had got the order on Saturday and sent the goods the same day and I had the parcel in five days. You can't beat that! A quick check shows that Dave only keeps the Comet range of Flywheels, but he is closer than Australia! Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quarryscapes Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 Will give Branchlines a try after the weekend. Roxey and MT both only go down to 12mm which won't fit sadly. I'd 3D print one, but not sure that would really be any better balanced than nothing at all! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
34theletterbetweenB&D Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 How about some bodging possibilities from the under-resourced past? Smaller gauge metal wheels, I think Jackson brass disc wheels originally on 1.5mm axles. A worm gear increased in diameter with a piece of copper tube heated and shrunk on.
