bertiedog Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Are there any suppliers I have missed that supply 26.7mm 80inch Drivers with no crank boss? I can modify existing wheels but wondered if any were made. Stephen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you can obtain suitable wheels from AGW, ref: G4880G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you can obtain suitable wheels from AGW, ref: G4880G I will have another look at the list then, thanks for the reference, it is for a Kirtley Class 800 Jidenco kit from Ebay. Looking into the parts I have or need to be sourced to complete it. At present motors and gears are easier than wheels. Cranked boss wheels would do at a pinch as the centre does not show much if at all. Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertiedog Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 Yes, the GWR plain spoked wheel, I think it is the only option, might as well equip the lot with the Gibson Wheels to match things up. No idea if the spoke count is the same as the Kirtley Class 800, but life is too short to worry about minor issues like that. Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen I take it that it won't be in P4 then..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium njee20 Posted June 1, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 1, 2016 I thought you had an incredibly specific requirement for a figure for your cab! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertiedog Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 I take it that it won't be in P4 then..... No P4 at the moment, quite content with most RTR 00 at the moment, P4 is too intensive to do at present.I was involved very early on in P4, all made with my own parts, and still have all the locos from the 60's bar one. The layout is a bit rusty, steel track was used, which I deeply regret now. The improvements in 00 standards satisfy running models, and the scenery is P4 / 00 anyway! My left arm is still bad and causes issues with making models, but slowly finding ways to get around it, and it is getting better. Stephen.

bertiedog Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 Of course I could make the track look even worse than 00 and do 16.2, with points a different gauge........ I'll stick to 16.5 and hope the full US NMRA standards are implemented over here, referring to gauge only, a track standard set 70 years ago and not messed about with, it works!
