Standard class bogie wheels

[Tom F]

Hello

I believe standard class locos had bogie wheels of 3ft with 9 spokes. Were these plain or bevelled?

 

Thanks

Thank for those, although I have to admit visually I'm unsure of the difference between plain and bevelled.

Standards are bevelled, yes. If you look at the part of the wheel inside the tyre, it slopes (a bit like an aero rim on a bike, if that makes any sense): 

 

In contrast, on most locos, the same part of the wheel is flat.

It's better described as a triangular section rim but the above photos show it very clearly.

Thanks for the replies gents. Much appreciated. Your description certainly helps Daddyman.
