TEAMYAKIMA Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I don't model British and so I am not aware of many of the small firms making components in the UK or stockists of American 'bits'. I have several items of stock with missing brakewheels or similar .... here is an example ... It appears to be about 6mm diameter - do any British firms make a nice quality item like this? Or maybe someone imports something similar from the USA? I need other smaller sizes as well. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted June 7, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 7, 2017 You could try http://www.wizardmodels.co.uk/FrameSetShop.php?DM=wizabout to see the supplier - then http://www.wizardmodels.co.uk/images/51lcomp/phswlb.jpg to see the wheels - If you get lost look under Product type - Wagon components in brass There are several sizes of handwheel there, although none seem to have the same structure as you want. You could add a disc or washer at the centre to get nearer your design, I am just a satisfied customer! Best wishes with your sourcing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Roger Sunderland Posted June 7, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 7, 2017 Try Colin Craig website. He has a selection of etched brakewheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Controller Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 A bit left-field, I know, but there might be something on here to suit:- https://jaycotts.co.uk/collections/press-studs Don't worry too much about having different ones on either side, or opposite ends of the same wagon; it happens enough on the prototype. Another possibility are the Cambrian injection-moulded plastic ones:- http://www.cambrianmodels.co.uk/accswheels.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctor quinn Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Kadee do a selection, these look to be closest https://kadee.com/htmbord/page2023-2033-2043.htm In the UK try Model Junction Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
