Judith Edge provide wheels with the kit - you need to specify gauge when ordering- as I'm building these to EM the wheels supplied are Gibson 2'3", which are slightly underscale (the prototype had 2'6" dia. wheels).
The Gibson wheels are plain discs whereas the prototype wheels had 4 holes cast into them. So to drill the 4 holes I made up a simple jig from a short length of 2mm axle material, polished so that the wheels are a sliding fit, and an offcut of brass etch;
As you can see its nothing fancy, and probably not that accurate either! But it did make drilling the holes (.7mm for no other eason than it looks about right) easier;
A small detail perhaps but I'm glad I've made the effort to drill the wheels.
Now I can assemble the chassis and get things running.
Paul.
