asmay2002 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 P1060458.JPG This how it was advertised and packaged. Not a "middle of the road" wheelset. Not cheap. Being picky the wheels in the photo have the crankpin in line with the spoke not between spokes. Are you sure they are the right diameter? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBAGE Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Being picky the wheels in the photo have the crankpin in line with the spoke not between spokes. Are you sure they are the right diameter? Maybe you should focus on the number of spokes and the fact that they came out of a bag for a J27. Did I count them wrong too? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Just had a look through Sharman. Couldn't find it yesterday. J38. 4'8" 16 spoke IL Have they packaged them wrong? Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBAGE Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 It was July the 16th when Markits shut up shop to make wheels. Yes, he's updating the website as well but four and a half months is a long time without a sale. Is it a tactic to starve the market so that when he turns supply on again, customers won't mind paying the price rise that was announced? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony Teague Posted November 30, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 30, 2018 I have bought from him more than once within that timeframe so I am not sure what problem you are describing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lofty1966 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Panic buying??? Surely RMWeb members wouldn’t resort to that Oh, I forgot about Hornby Railroad Collett Coach bodies being hoovered up by a member in Ontario........ Tim T Hey, I resemble that remark! You'll be pleased to know I've stopped. Prices should start to tumble ;-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold ianLMS Posted December 6, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 6, 2018 I purchased a couple of wheelsets, wagon and coach wheels as well as crankpins etc from Markits in late Oct and early Nov. No issues. When on the phone with him, he did mention that they just had delivery of 20,000 wheels to go through and many sets have been upgraded. I purchased wheelsets for a Jubilee and a Jinty which were one of the ones he was waiting for which got upgraded. Not sure what the upgrade entailed, but they seem ok to me!

DCB Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 I can't find any product list on line, their website was updated Nov 2018 and has very few products listed. Any one know anything? I need some Hornby reverse gearwheels they listed a few years ago Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffP Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Try this: http://www.markits.com/download.html From there you can download their catalogue in pdf format. It all seems to be there? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also that prices have been increased by an unspecified amount, so enquiring/ordering by phone seems to be the only real option at present.

RMweb Gold 88C Posted September 3, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 3, 2019 I can say that I have had some good service from Markits. On 28th August I sent an e-mail asking about the availability of 16mm drivers and had a reply the next day, an order was posted off and the wheels arrived today. There was also mention in the reply that Mark(?) is busy casting 72000 wheels including 17 new ones including another 16mm if I was prepared to wait. As it happens the one available was closest to what I wanted. If you know what you want a polite e-mail seems to work. Brian. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
