Carriage and wagon wheels

[MikeWilliams]

I can completely understand how Walsall could make these cheaper than Andy's supplier because Andy's uses a lathe not quite large enough to thread the bar needed through the headstock, and so each wheel blank needs to be cut off and mounted individually to machine.

But, like unklian, I would be interested to know whether Walsall do actually make them and do have them?

Well Mike, I was offered them last year by Walsall for £7.50 per axle, but went for another supplier instead where the cost was slightly greater but brass bearings included.

Great, thanks Tim.

Just shows there's a lot for Gauge 3 out there if you look - and I didn't look hard enough!
