Feoffee2 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Hi I am wanting to stratchbuild various vehicles for my layout. However I am struggling to find a way of either making wheels and tyres or finding a suitable supplier of them. Just wondering of anyone has any ideas or tips?

Nick Holliday Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 There are quite a few suppliers of wheels out there. It would greatly help if you indicated the scale you're working in, the sort of vehicle the wheels are for, and the size and type of wheel you want to represent.

I am wanting to build various 4mm scale vehicles. I am trying to build a few ATV's and ride on mowers. So the wheels are more agricultural.

jasp Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I understand the Ultrascale are taking orders for steel tyres, made to specification. Alternatively, I am sure there is a thread here somewhere with someone making reason printed wheel centres which might be of use Jim P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shipbadger Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I think that you may get some more responses in the 'Road Vehicles' section of this forum. Sources of wheels and various alternatives are subjects which are often discussed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
