Wow, thanks Graham.

Are they 14mm diameter with a decent wheel face profile do you know?

They must have had some input from Bachmann presumably?

 

Mike.

I hope they're not 14mm diameter. They should be 2'10.5" diameter (11.5mm).

It was a sort of rhetorical question to see what was/is fitted.

Now showing as Mar/April in the Bachmann website, so almost a year from livery sample to production models. Has it always been that long generally, assuming no tooling issues have arisen?

Perhaps they just want a bit of a gap between the release of Heljan version and the EFE version to give it a chance of selling well ?
