Mark,

What are you thinking of making or having made that Gibson in particular
doesn't do? He makes curly spokes in 3 sizes. 9, 10.5 and 12mm, and some
of his 00 wheels will also do for narrow gauge. If you are using
standard wheels, make sure you ask for 00, assuming that is the standard
you want, he does different wheel profiles, e.g P4. Normal axle length
is 26 mm but he will also supply, given a couple of days notice usually,
on Lima replacement axles at 24.5 mm. These are a better idea in the 7mm
NGA slate wagons, where you can then fit his waisted bearings. They end
up so free running they are a devil to shunt with Kay Dees, I am working
on a DCC brake van!
I'm sure Phil will correct me if I am wrong, but I think A G is making
the wheels for Portwynnstay's inside bearing Festiniog Railway wagons.
Phil, are they your exclusive for the kits or can we buy them from A G
or yourself on their own?
A G doesn't as far as I know supply to 14mm gauge, but I bought a 16.5
gauge brass back to back gauge, 14.5 mm ?, and turned the faces down in
a lathe to 12.45 mm. I drilled two holes on the solid part of the gauge,
2.5 mm diameter and just deep enough so that if you push one end of a 26
mm axle set hard into one hole, and then the other end into the same
hole it pushes the wheels in to the correct B to B for 14mm. The other
hole does for 24.5 mm axles.
I have found that if you disturb A G wagon wheels sometimes the rims
come loose. I usually spend an evening trimming the flash, pushing the
rims off, and bedding them back with a smear of 24 hour Araldite. The
next night I regauge them, with another drop of Araldite on the axle. I
think they would probably be O.K. if I didn't mess about with the gauge.

G'day all,
What is commonly used as 14mm gauge wheelsets for rollingstock? I
believe
Roy Link won't sell his wheels separately, is Gibson the only other
supplier?
Is there any interest in having a small run of 14mm gauge wheelsets for
rollingstock made? They could be straight, split or curly spoked, or
disc-with or without holes, and in whatever diameter is wanted. And
whatever
axle length is deemed most suitable. A concensus would have to be
reached as
I don't want to do more than one size/shape yet.
Cost to you would be cost to me plus postage.
If your interested, make yourself heard!

Cheers,
Mark K
