doilum Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Is it safe to assume that the 1928 type had spoked wheels and retained them? Specifically I am building 5323 which ran behind Seagull in later years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickham Green too Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 It's NEVER safe to assume that ANYTHING retained its original wheels after a works visit ....... unless they were unique for some reason. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 In your original post is 5323 a typo for 5332? 60033 ran with 5325 April 1948 to May 1954 and 5332 May 1954 to December 1962 when the loco was withdrawn. Rail-Online has two photos that might help https://www.rail-online.co.uk/p939198651/h2428bcef#h2428bcef Taken in 1958 https://www.rail-online.co.uk/p939198651/h29d5318d#h29d5318d Taken in 1961 The 1961 picture is definitely disc wheels and the 1958 picture looks like discs Tender 5332 is still with us, albeit with a new tank, as it was adapted as the second tender for 4472 Flying Scotsman and eventually passed to Locomotive Services Ltd and has been used with 60019 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doilum Posted October 20, 2021 Author Share Posted October 20, 2021 BIG thanks for that. The second photo will also be most useful as I make the 1948 changes to the tender top. I almost placed an order for spoked wheels yesterday but a website glitch and a visit to see mother meant the task was postponed until today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
