RMweb Gold sjp23480 Posted July 21, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 21, 2022 Hello Everyone, I have been trying to find a shop that sells these wheel sets, but to no avail. Everyone seems to be out of stock with no indication of when they will get any more. Would anyone have one (internal or external bearing) of these wheel sets that they would be prepared to sell me? I already have three, but need the fourth for a LNER tender build. Any assistance would be gratefully received. Many thanks Steve 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold john new Posted February 15 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 15 (edited) Similar problem to the OP. I can find plenty of 16mm dia OO bogie wheels but the only tender wheels have axles flush to the hub. I need extended axles to fit the tender kit I have. Any ideas. The only type available seem to be the withdrawn by PECO type (R-18) which from the photos appear to be a nylon (or similar) moulding not ones with a metal tread. EDIT: A suggestion I have seen is use the Bachmann Manor Tender wheels but the Bachmann spares site does not give a wheel diameter. Info request has been sent.

That has been my problem all day tracking down wheels. So many of the listed items are not actually available as marked out of stock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
