Killian keane Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Just a quick question, I was wondering if anybody knows of a manufacturer of Timothy Hackworths wheels in 4mm (p4) scale? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
49395 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Your best bet might be to find a p4 tire the correct size and get a new centre 3D printed, I'm sure there's a thread somewhere about it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
49395 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I think the thread was this one http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/102267-manning-wardle-wheels/ I hope it's some help Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCB Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 There will be a lot of stress on the "cranked" crankpin if it is a Grass hopper loco with vertical cylinders on the centreline and that crankpin will need to be very securely attached to prevent it twisting. A 3d printed insert for an existing wheel might be a better solution. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killian keane Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 By grasshopper are we talking about something like this wilberforce class or more along the lines of locomotion no. 1? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
