Finally Arrived - Pre-Quartered & Back-to-Back Locomotive Wheels

The concept from 2009 has now been achieved PRE QUARTERED & BACK-TO-BACK LOCOMOTIVE WHEELS!!!!!
 The wheel center is made from Frosted Ultra Detail plastic (FUD) and has an integral square hole
 The drive shaft is a stainless steel shaft with square ends and a tapped hole to take a 16BA screw which the wheel is held on.  When built the wheels are held at the correct back to back size.
Also available are extended axels for outside frame locomotives.

Currently the range is limited to the locomotives in my collection, but orders will be taken for any variety of locomotive wheels.  Scale sizes offered will be from 6mm up to 14.5mm.

N-Gauge wheels are also available in the same range.

COME AND SEE THESE FOR YOURSELF AT WARLEY NATIONAL SHOW THIS WEEKEND!!

TwommLocomotives - Midland Railway 3F

Another completed locomotive, this time Midland Railway 3F no 1909 based in Kentish Town.


The locomotive is powered by a Faulhaber 8mm motor through a 60:1 gearbox.  The locomotive was handpainted and lightly weathered to represent a working loco from the London region of Kentish Town.
