MGR Hooper! Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Anyone knows any suppliers in The UK or China for 10.5mm and 12.0mm loco wheels? I'm looking for just the wheels without axles. TIA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barclay Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Alan Gibson would be a good place to start. Steam loco drivers in 11mm and 12mm. These would be for a 1/8" axle. If you mean diesel type wheels they do 12mm ones and the 10.5mm lowmac type could be used. Both for a 2mm axle. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have looked up their options (yes I need D&E era wheels). But it seems like they don't sell axles without pin-point ends. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be tempted to call him and see what he can do in terms of adding a plain axle. or, in you just want the wheels themselves, pull them off the axle, they are quite strong. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctor quinn Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Locos and Stuff offer 10.5 and 12mm disc wheels and seem to be quite flexible (I’ve got a project that needs 10.5mm wheels when I get around to it) https://www.locosnstuff.com 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
