Retfordlad Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I'm hoping to replace the solid plain tender wheels on my older Hornby STOWE three pole Ringfield motorised tender with black solid centre spoked type as part of a project. This is the brainpick part .. replacement wheels for older locos are in short supply or not available .. did get 2 pair sets of 2 pairs from Peters Spares .. HOWEVER. . The fun bit is the centre pair with the finer flange. Is it possible just to use a regular flange set here or will this cause running or worse still power issues .... help !! Thanks in advance Retfordlad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theakerr Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Obvious question is what is your minimum radius? But basically i would say there will be no issue. As I remember that centre axle has a lot of float on it and it is a relatively short wheelbase Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retfordlad Posted August 2, 2016 Author Share Posted August 2, 2016 HI Theakker ... I'm still at the collecting stock stage .. hoping to do as 'real' as possible,track eventually probably end to end with a fiddle yard. ... would there be any power issues as I'm not sure which wheels collect power ..
