I'll keep these in mind, I do need some chrome or bright as well. The Kadee can't double up as bogie wheels as the inner axle is moulded, and acts as insulation. The appearance is to match Mantua nickel plated wheels.

Thanks,

Stephen.

Stephen,

 

33 inch is 9.6mm. I can do those in solid nickel silver, in Code 110 or Code 88 wheel profiles. They can be supplied on either steel blunt end axles or brass pin-points. I can do 10.5mm in the same manner.

Many thanks, for the suggestions, I have found some very cheap bargain HO cars with plated wheels to provide for a project, a Mantua loco, but I think I'll set up the lathe and turn a quantity for general use in stainless steel.

Thanks.
